Omnia Training has been awarded a £2bn contract by the UK Ministry of Defence to serve as the British Army’s Strategic Training Partner.
The contract tasks Omnia Training with delivering the Army’s Collective Training Service, known as ACTS, in partnership with the British Army.
Omnia Training is led by Raytheon UK, an RTX business, and includes consortium partners Capita, Cervus, Rheinmetall UK, and Skyral.
The 15-year contract will provide soldiers with an integrated, digitally enabled collective training system that transforms how they train, prepare, and adapt for future missions.
By combining virtual, synthetic, and data-driven environments, the program upgrades traditional live exercises to better prepare soldiers for complex, modern warfare.
“We launched Omnia Training over three years ago to deliver cutting-edge training systems to help the British Army effectively prepare for operations,” said James Gray, Managing Director and Chief Executive of Raytheon UK.
“Our UK-based team of innovators, engineers and experts will give soldiers and commanders a new level of training realism and set an example for effective collaboration between the Army and industry,” Gray added.
The Omnia team will make greater use of synthetic technologies, advanced analytics, and next-generation training platforms that integrate virtual and data-driven environments.
The contract award is expected to create 270 new jobs, while also sustaining a further 150 existing positions across the consortium.
Omnia Training brings together five organisations with a combined total of more than 1,500 personnel currently working in defence training roles.
Raytheon UK employs more than 2,000 people and serves as a major supplier and systems integrator to the UK Ministry of Defence, designing and manufacturing defence and space technologies.
RTX, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, employs more than 180,000 people globally and reported 2025 sales of more than $88 billion across its operations.
