Polish technology for the production of propellants uses methods which have been known for many years. The continuously developing market requires producers to enhance the parameters of their munitions in order to keep up with demands. Therefore, it is necessary to research and constantly implement new types of gun powders and rocket propellants. In the present work, highly energetic compounds were characterized as constituents of current propellants. Their advantages and disadvantages are described. The requirements for new materials, concerning toxicity, environmental impact, and safety are presented. It is shown that by using modern energetic compounds it is possible to obtain low-vulnerability or insensitive ammunitions. Finally, the situation in the Polish market is briefly described.
