Rheinmetall Electronics UK Ltd
About us
Rheinmetall Electronics UK Ltd (REUK) was established as RFEL Ltd in 1999 and has been part of the Rheinmetall Group since 2009. The company provides a broad range of mission ready technology, products and systems to government, defence and homeland security markets. REUK has four key business lines:
Mission Systems, Simulation and Training, Ground-based Air Defence, and Digitalisation.
Mission Systems
Within the Mission Systems business line, REUK specialises in exploiting our world-leading capability in high-performance signal and video processing both within the UK and for export customers. REUK’s key product in this area is Trailblazer – a best-in-class driver vision system delivering advanced situational awareness for military platforms. As well as significant export sales, REUK is delivering to the British Army's latest platform modernisation programmes including Boxer MIV, Challenger 3 MBT and MLRS, as well as providing critical safety enhancements onto the enduring Warrior IFV fleet. Also in this business line, REUK has deep specialism in the field of Electronic Warfare, with world-leading products for Communications Intercept (COMINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and cyber applications.
Simulation and Training
REUK draws on Rheinmetall’s extensive experience in Simulation and Training, and through our collaboration within Omnia Training will be delivering the Strategic Training Partner for the British Army. Omnia will provide significantly enhanced training delivery, through the use of advanced tools, technologies and products, but also through close collaborative behaviours enabling a more lethal fighting force. As well as incorporating the best in class 3rd party technologies, REUK will exploit proven in-house products such as the Osiris command simulator and the Legatus live training system to enable the British Army to deploy an unmatched fighting force out to 2041.
Ground-Based Air Defence
Rheinmetall leads the global market in the provision of advanced Ground-Based Air Defence (GBAD) systems, and is the sole system supplier able to offer fire control technology, automatic cannon, integrated guided missiles and the AHEAD airburst ammunition. Skyranger (with both 30 and 35mm calibre options) is rapidly becoming the defacto solution for the NATO and the EU through the European SkyShield Initiative (ESSI), with a growing list of user nations. Skynex is Rheinmetall’s flexible and modular air defence system – enabling a separate air traffic control and effector solution. When coupled with the advanced Skymaster C2/BMS, Rheinmetall can offer comprehensive, fully integrated GBAD systems.
Digitalisation
As part of the Digital Division of Rheinmetall, REUK offers Battlesuite – the answer to future military warfare – a holistic digital solution for networked military operations. Battlesuite eliminates data silos, interconnects system generations, and integrates state-of-the-art technologies from a wide range of partners for use on missions, exercises, and lifelike, data-based training. The latest technologies and a steadily growing ecosystem allow Battlesuite to provide an infrastructure of the future.

REUK’s Business Unit Simulation and Training draws its heritage from Rheinmetall Electronics GmbH, located in Bremen, Germany. Rheinmetall has over 50 years of experience in developing and manufacturing simulation systems and delivering training services.
Rheinmetall is the leading provider of military training solutions across the globe for land, sea and air requirements. Rheinmetall simulation systems ensure highly realistic training for military users as well as civilian users. They can be used to train entire units in tactical operations or prepare troops for out-of-area peace enforcement missions through to complex surface and sub-surface maritime systems throught to part task and full flight mission trainers.
As an internationally trusted supplier of systems and equipment Rheinmetall has long been a source of competent advice in the innovative use of advanced technology for land training purposes. REUK is currently bidding as part of Omnia Training for the UK Army Collective Training Transformation Programme.
Omnia Training is ready and able to provide a transformative solution for the British Army’s Collective Training System (ACTS). Omnia will reduce the time taken to achieve combat readiness—delivering realistic, immersive, and agile collective training services and increase the lethality of the British Army. Omnia knows the British Army is ready for faster, more precise, and more objective measurement to match the level of preparation, dedication, and resources invested in live training. Omnia understands measurement is critical as a function of training assessment and that our role here is to exploit technology and knowledge resources to deliver audited assurance through new and innovating processes.
Rheinmetall has a breadth of experience from 100+ years of Gun based Air Defence (GBAD) and platform design, manufacture and delivery experience, our design and manufacturing facilities on the Isle of Wight and at RBSL Telford, and engineering design teams in Bristol, are well-placed to support UK MoD and wider export market GBAD plans.
Rheinmetall works collaboratively with our customers on both MoD programme delivery and with a range of international customers, localising manufacture, delivery, and support options. This is possible for a range of capabilities, from mobile air defence such as the Boxer Skyranger platform, suitable for tasks such as very short-range air defence, counter small air targets, and counter unmanned air systems, through to the delivery of mature and fielded air defence command and control systems such as the Skymaster C2 and highly capable air defence radar systems.
