Rheinmetall will serve as the Land Collective Training Partner within the programme. The company said its share of the 15-year contract is worth just under €1 billion.
Omnia Training is expected to begin operational implementation in summer 2026. The consortium will deliver a new collective training capability for the British Army, bringing together live, virtual and constructive simulation systems.
Rheinmetall’s role will include support for the design and delivery of key land training elements. The company will also help manage physical training infrastructure, system configuration and logistics linked to Army collective training.
The programme is intended to change how British soldiers train for complex operations by using more integrated and digitally enabled training environments. Rheinmetall said the work will support a more modern training system while strengthening the UK’s industrial base.
The company said the size and duration of the contract will allow it to expand its sites, workforce and supply capacity in the United Kingdom. Rheinmetall expects the project to secure and create skilled jobs over the 15-year contract period.
The impact is expected to include Rheinmetall Electronics UK’s headquarters on the Isle of Wight and its Southampton site. The company also expects new employment opportunities at other strategic locations, including Bristol and Warminster.
Rheinmetall said the United Kingdom remains one of its core strategic markets in Europe. Its local presence includes Rheinmetall Electronics UK and Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land, which is involved in British Army platform modernisation programmes.
The company said this UK footprint supports closer cooperation with the armed forces and strengthens local value creation. Rheinmetall said its role in Omnia Training will help provide long-term support to the British Army as it updates collective training for future operational demands.
