Build Standard 8 CT40 Cannon will be integrated into AJAX vehicles for in-service use. All CT40 Cannon delivered under the UK series production contract are at this standard.

The Ministry of Defence does hold some older Build Standard 5 Cannon which have been used to support trials activity. These will not be fitted to in-service AJAX vehicles but could be repurposed for other uses once trials are complete, for example, as training aids for the Field Army.
