Abstract: The development of application technologies of CL-20 in the last two decades is reviewed，and the criterion which determines a military high energy compound’s practical applications is presented. The research achievements in composite explosives，solid rocket propellants and gun propellants are summarized and discussed. Most of these achievements were obtained during the end of the last century and the beginning of this century. Some composite explosives have overcome the shortcomings of the high sensitivity of CL-20 and greatly improved the power of the explosive formulas，such as PAX-11，PAX-12 and PAX-29. The solid rocket propellants containing CL-20 showed higher energy output and lower signature in spite of slightly higher sensitivity. The gun propellants containing CL-20 showed higher energy and the same sensitivity compared with the RDX gun propellants. It is believed that the research of CL-20 has turned into application stage from laboratory study stage. A great number of successful formulas related to CL-20 have been invented，and some of them could fulfill the use in weapon system.

摘要： 回顾了CL-20在应用领域内的研究进展，介绍了军用含能化合物实用性的标准、CL-20在混合炸药、推进剂、发射药中的应用特点及应用成果。其中某些混合炸药配方如PAX-11、PAX-12及PAX-29等混合炸药已克服了CL-20感度较高的缺点，较大幅度的提高了配方的威力；含CL-20的推进剂虽然感度稍高，但具有能量输出高、低特征信号的优点；含CL-20的发射药比含RDX的发射药能量有所提高，而感度与之相当。结果表明，CL-20的研究已从实验室研究阶段进入到应用研究阶段，这些研制成功的配方，其中有些已达到或接近在武器装备中使用的水平。
