CL-20, chemically known as hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (HNIW), is a polycyclic nitroamine explosive and the most powerful non-nuclear single explosive currently in use. It was developed by the China Lake Naval Weapons Center in the 1980s and features a cage structure with a density exceeding 2 g/cm³.

CL-20 outperforms conventional explosives like HMX and RDX by 14–20% in detonation velocity and pressure, while offering a better oxidizer-to-fuel ratio for propellants. The ε-polymorph is the most stable and dense form, though large-scale production remains costly and complex.

Recent applications include the AeroVironment Switchblade 300 drone, testing in Lockheed Martin LRASM and JASSM-ER missiles, and integration into Taiwan’s Hsiung Feng missile systems. It was also notably used in the 2024 Lebanon electronic device attacks.


Identified CL-20 manufacturers
CL-20 production is concentrated in a handful of countries, with China being the only one with true industrial-scale mass production (achieved in 2011). Here's a breakdown:

China

  • Sichuan Military and Civilian Co-Innovation Center for New Energetic Materials — led by Guo Changping, developed a nanotech method making CL-20 ~5× more shock-resistant, enabling mass production.
  • Beijing Institute of Technology — won China's highest military science award in 2016 for its contribution to CL-20 mass production.
United States

  • Northrop Grumman — the primary US manufacturer (a legacy of Thiokol Corporation → Cordant Technologies → Alliant Techsystems → Orbital ATK → Northrop Grumman).
  • Aerojet Rocketdyne (now under L3Harris) — also a leading US producer.
  • The Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Tennessee (run by BAE Systems) is the main US Army explosive production site.
Taiwan

  • Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology (CIST) — inaugurated a CL-20 production facility in 2022, with integration into the Hsiung Feng II and Hsiung Feng III missile lines.
India

  • DRDO's High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL) in Pune synthesized CL-20 (called "ICL-20"), with ~100 kg produced in collaboration with Premier Explosives Limited (PEL) in Andhra Pradesh.
In short, China is the only country with proven large-scale industrial production, while the US relies on Northrop Grumman and L3Harris for limited domestic supply.

Zelensky realizing he's been tossed overboard by Trump

Zelensky says he is willing to give up 25% of Ukraine to Russia to end the war

Its actually hilarious.

Butcher Bibi gets Kegsbreath to fly to Israel, feeds him a cool story about,.... wait for it..... Iran is just weeks away from nuclear weapon!
Alcoholic Anonymous dropout Pete scurrys back to DC and convinces the dementia patient holding the White House hostage that we must take out Iran, again, becasue nuclear blah blah blah.. they'll kill Detroit or some other city in a matter of weeks.

Qatar the 2nd largest exporter of natural gas is now paying billions to import US LNG

Qatar is cooked

Or is someone lying?
