Tracked British Army reconnaissance, command, recovery, engineering and armored personnel carrier variants in General Dynamics Land Systems’ AJAX family. The official family names AJAX, ARES, ATHENA, APOLLO, ATLAS and ARGUS; the manufacturer reports a British Army order for 589 vehicles across six variants. The UK paused its initial-operating-capability declaration in January 2026. In a 14 July 2026 update, the government reported resumed vehicle acceptance and restarted trials; this record does not treat that update as full operational fielding.
