The origins and the evolution of the Titan 3 and 4 family of launch vehicles are reviewed. The Titan 3 vehicles have been used as expendable launch vehicles for the majority of military payloads for the past 25 years. The Titan 4, an upgraded version of the Titan 3, will be used for the heaviest payloads in the current decade. With the exception of four failures in recent years the Titan vehicles have a good reliability record. They have been used to launch some of the most successful NASA planetary probes and are scheduled for more NASA use in the future. The commercial prospects for the Titan 3 and 4 launch vehicles are assessed.
