The UK Ministry of Defence selected the consortium to deliver the Army's Collective Training System, using AI, analytics and simulation to train about 60,000 troops a year while supporting 400 jobs.
Omnia Training has secured a £2 billion, 15-year contract from the UK Ministry of Defence to deliver the British Army's Collective Training System, with the program set to use artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and simulation technology to prepare about 60,000 troops a year for modern warfare. The Raytheon UK-led consortium includes Capita, Cervus, Rheinmetall UK and Skyral, supported by a wider supply chain of 44 companies. The initiative is designed to modernize training beyond traditional live exercises through virtual, synthetic and data-driven environments that can be used whenever and wherever needed. The award is expected to sustain around 400 jobs across the UK, including 270 highly skilled roles. Elbit Systems UK led a rival consortium in the competition but did not win the contract.
