Abstract
Stabilized munitions are provided which comprise ammonium perchlorate and which have been plasticized with a NENA (nitratoethylnitramine) compound. In order to stabilize this system, Lewis base compounds of specified formula are included as part of the munition. Preferred stabilizers include urea, acetamide or nitroguanidine. The stabilized munitions, and in particular, propellants provide improved safety and/or energetic properties over current munition formulations.
