The Integrated High Performance Rocket Propulsion Technology (IHPRPT) Program has set ambitious goals of significant increases in rocket propulsion performance while maintaining acceptable cost and hazards criteria. As part of this effort, Thiokol Corporation has been actively investigating the synthesis, development, and formulation of new energetic ingredients for application in solid rocket propellants. Several new materials under investigation include CL- 20 (a new high density nitramine), ADN (a high energy non-chlorine oxidizer), and heterocycle-based high nitrogen compounds. Recent propellant results indicate that attractive hazards properties and ballistic characteristics can be obtained with CL-20 and ADN.
