It makes an excellent solid rocket oxidizer with a slightly higher specific impulse than ammonium perchlorate and, more importantly, does not leave corrosive hydrogen chloride fumes.

It decomposes into low-molecular-mass gases, which contributes to higher performance without creating excessive temperatures if used in gun or rocket propellants.

The Eurenco Bofors company produced LMP-103S as a 1-to-1 substitute for hydrazine by dissolving 65% ammonium dinitramide, [NH4]N(NO2)2, in 35% water solution of methanol and ammonia.

[3][4] The ADN-based monopropellant FLP-106 is reported to have improved properties relative to LMP-103S, including higher performance (ISP of 259 s vs. 252 s) and density (1.362 g/cm3 vs. 1.240 g/cm3).

Initially all information related to this compound was classified because of its use as a rocket propellant, particularly in Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missiles.

[9] ADN was mixed with amine nitrates in order to lower its melting point for use as a liquid monopropellant.

[10] Kim et al. have also examined mixtures of ADN with hydrogen peroxide as a potential liquid monopropellant.
