In reference to an exercise series in December 2006 FOI demonstrated an existing research tool for reconstruction and exploration (MIND). Interviews with concerned teachers and instructors were also conducted to elicitate needs and requirements for a suitable system supporting the school at Sandö in present and future test and training missions. During the exercises FOI conducted data collection and supported After-Action Revews (AAR) of selected exercise situations. In this report is presented a description of the exercises that were supported, and a description of used methods and techniques. A method and a systemdesign for the SRV school at Sandö meeting present and future test and training needs is also included.
