Well under the economic circumstances most militarises are having to operate under (Except for countries like Brazil, India, China and Russia that are seeing huge increases in defence spending compared to GDP.) immense pressure to do more with less, more with older systems (Recapitalization/RESET.) and rethinking of ongoing and future products. The following cover the above.
1. UK WARRIOR Program moves on as the upgrade to the CT 40mm is funded. The picture shows the WARRIOR with the CT 40mm mounted and with the armor upgrades already done as well. It should be noted that the
armor upgrade as shown is all ready being used by the WARRIOR's in theatre in Afghanistan.

2. The USA is putting the pressure on the competitors in the GCV Program to get it right and within the program costs as it gets ready to look at existing improved programs from outside the U.S. as alternatives spending $47 million dollars to research it. Again the pictures show the new and upgraded versions of the two leading alternatives choices.

I don't know if the WARRIOR needs an armor upgrade for the game currently or not I just haven't had the chance to check.
