This paper details the results and major findings of the Upper Stage Responsiveness Study (USRS) Phases I and II. Boeing Aerospace Company (BAC), General Dynamics (GD), and Martin Marietta Corporation (MMC) conducted a ten month study effort to define (1) a new upper stage for the Titan IV/Solid Rocket Motor Unit (SRMU) capable of delivering 13,500 lbs of payload to geosynchronous orbit (GEO) and (2) a new upper stage for the Advanced Launch System (ALS) capable of delivering 20,000 lbs of payload to GEO. Additionally, the concepts defined had to meet Air Force Space Command's (AFSPACECOM) operability drivers for launch systems. The USRS concluded that a new, low-cost, launch-responsive upper stage can meet the requirements for both Titan IV and ALS in the 1997 timeframe.
