The 40mm airburst munition is part of the planned CT40 system. It was due to be qualified as a shared nature via the Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme (WCSP) in 2023-24 and read across to Ajax subsequently. However, following the cancellation of WCSP as announced in the defence Command Paper, further planning action will be required to confirm the requirement.
