Rheinmetall: wins contract worth nearly 1 billion with the British Army

(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Rheinmetall has been awarded a contract in the UK worth nearly a billion. As announced by the defence group, the company is part of a consortium tasked with digitising the British Army’s combat training. In particular, Rheinmetall Electronics UK plays a key role as a member of Omnia Training, the consortium selected to deliver the Army Collective Training System as part of the British Army’s CTTP (Collective Training Transformation Programme). Led by Raytheon UK as the prime contractor, Omnia Training brings together several industrial partners. Rheinmetall, as the Land Collective Training Partner, is supporting the design and implementation of key elements of the programme. Rheinmetall’s share of the contract is worth just under one billion euros; the consortium will commence operational implementation in the summer of 2026, and the service contract will run for 15 years. The project’s substantial scale and wide range of services will enable Rheinmetall to expand its local sites, workforce and industrial supply capabilities in the UK. The project will secure and create numerous skilled jobs not only at Rheinmetall Electronics UK’s headquarters on the Isle of Wight and at its Southampton site, but also in other strategic locations such as Bristol and Warminster.
