The Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (AFRPL), with assistance from URS Corporation, has conducted a limited program to determine the explosive potential of two hybrid propellant combinations; nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) and polybutadyne-aluminum (PBAN), and chlorine trifluoride (CTF) and PBAN. This program consisted of a series of eight tests in which the N2O4/PBAN propellant combination was subjected to high-velocity-impact tests, drop tests, and explosive-donor tests, and one high-velocity-impact test of the CTF/PBAN propellant combination.
