The NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC), together with partners, is working on creating the "Lesson Learned Data Exploitation Platform" (LL DEP).
Experts from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Land Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, and NATO structures from Poland, Portugal, Canada, the Netherlands, the USA, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, as well as representatives of the NGO Boryviter, participated in the founding conference for the project implementation.
The purpose of the event was to define the functional, technical, and organizational parameters of the platform, which will allow the military experience of Ukraine and the Alliance to be combined into a single system.
The architecture of the future system, data exchange mechanisms, and procedures for interaction among the Lessons Learned process stakeholders—JATEC, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and NATO—were discussed.
“Ukrainian war experience and NATO’s technological capabilities will create the prerequisites for a new operational training model that will strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities and form the foundation for a joint security architecture of the future,” emphasized JATEC’s Program Implementation Director, Colonel Valeriy Vyshnivskyi.
At the LL DEP Conference, working groups focused on four areas: from the platform’s end products and outcomes to the process of information exchange between interested parties, methods of data collection and sharing, as well as the tools and methodologies for their analysis.
“The JATEC platform for utilizing lessons learned data is an important step in transforming Ukraine’s defense sector. Real-time operational analysis and adaptive decision-making enhance the effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and provide partners with a model for studying innovations under wartime conditions,” noted Pavlo Musiienko, Head of the Analytics Department at the NGO "Boryviter."
