The following are considered potential uses of the developed methods and SIMS LL tool by polish military lesson learnt dedicated: • to develop and maintain LL training adapted to specific needs of polish military. ✓ SIMS LL methods can be used to carry out the theoretical part of the training for officers, who may have the role of a LL officer, and who executes selected tasks from LL area at different stages of the LL process. ✓ to use the LL tool to conduct LL workshops involving completing the information, their analysis and preparation. ✓ to prepare the training which is similar to the course “Lessons Learnt Staff Officers Course” like e.g. training as an introduction to that course, or courses extending under specific local conditions. • to introduce modifications in the debriefing process or Post Action Review aiming at improving the information collection system to make a better use of the experience (LL) • to collect experience from operations and missions conducted by polish military and analyse them by combining different types of information. • to make use of the observation database as a basis for preparing recommendations, procedural and doctrinal changes. The implementation of the features mentioned above require to update the tool to the appropriate technological level in order to allow a stable operation in the real world, or operational training. VI. The use of LL tool The SIMS LL tool GUI consist of three main sections: • toolbar, where all the basic tools for managing lesson learnt data are placed. Additional plug-ins (e.g. analytical tools) as well as settings are also available in this section; • LL related data, where input (e.g. incidents, human terrain information) and output (e.g. observations, recommendations) data for the LL process are available for browsing and filtering. Data are organised in hierarchical structures and can be stored in the remote or local databases;

Therefore it is possible to view LL related data in separate or detached windows (instead of internal LL tool tabs), and organised them in the preferable manner.
