The Composite Rubber Track (CRT) trial conducted in 2017 was a success and achieved its aim of completing 5,000 kilometres on one set of tracks. The trial identified several possible exploitation opportunities in the current and future United Kingdom Armoured Fighting Vehicle fleet.

No further trials have been undertaken with CRT and the Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle.
