Calian wins 15-year, CAD$296 million British Army training deal

Calian UK has secured a 15-year agreement to support the British Army’s Collective Training Service programme, with the contract set to begin in October 2026 after Project NUMIDIAN ends. The deal adds about CAD$296 million in base revenue and extends Calian’s role in UK and allied military training.

Why it matters: - The agreement extends one of Calian’s largest defence training programs. - The contract adds about CAD$296 million, or £159 million, in base revenue over 15 years. - The work supports British Army readiness and modernization through collective training, digital simulation and integrated training capabilities. - The deal also strengthens Calian’s position in UK, European and NATO-aligned defence training markets.

What happened: - Calian UK secured a 15-year agreement with Raytheon UK, the consortium lead for Omnia Training. - The contract supports the British Army’s Collective Training Service, known as ACTS. - The agreement is scheduled to start in October 2026. - The start date follows the conclusion of the current Project NUMIDIAN contract.

The details: - Calian Group Ltd. is a mission-critical solutions company focused on defence, space, healthcare and other strategic infrastructure sectors. - Raytheon UK is an RTX business. - Calian’s role under ACTS builds on its previous support to the UK Ministry of Defence and British Army under Project NUMIDIAN. - Under Project NUMIDIAN, Calian delivered specialized collective training services designed to expose the British Army to challenging, contemporary threats and improve operational readiness. - Collective training brings soldiers, commanders and allied forces together in realistic operational environments. - The training approach is designed to improve coordination, interoperability and mission effectiveness before deployment. - Through ACTS, Calian will continue providing specialist collective training services. - The programme will use advanced digital, synthetic and integrated training capabilities.

Between the lines: - The contract signals continued demand for outsourced military training and simulation support as armies adapt to more complex, multi-domain threats. - Calian’s win suggests the company is deepening a long-running relationship with UK defence customers rather than entering a new market. - Raytheon UK said Omnia Training combines organizations with proven expertise in military training and simulation, and that the UK team will increase training realism for soldiers and commanders.

What's next: - Calian is expected to begin work under ACTS in October 2026 once Project NUMIDIAN ends. - The company will continue supporting British Army training modernization over the life of the contract. - The agreement should remain a steady source of contracted revenue through the 15-year term.

The bottom line: - Calian has locked in a long-term British Army training contract that boosts revenue visibility and reinforces its defence training footprint in the UK and among allied forces.
