Solid ADN Propellant Development

摘要

Ammonium dinitramide, ADN, is studied in Sweden in order to develop castable high performance minimum-smoke propellants for tactical missile applications. In 2010, 3 kg grains based on 70% ADN and 30% GAP were cast and test fired successfully. This paper presents on-going work at FOI concerning ADN propellant development which includes up-scaling the prilling method, improving the mechanical properties and studying the influence on the ballistic properties when ADN is partially replaced with a low sensitive energetic filler.
