The strategy proposed to carry out this research included in principle a thorough study of the relationship between planning, war gaming and simulation. After developed the analysis of the characteristics and limitations of the proposed simulator, was conducted a case study in which the tool was used, determining lessons learned and benefits extended by the system; especially related to the delivery of results in order to develop a solid base of information for the Commander take a reasoned and sufficient evidence decision. The results were satisfactory, since ultimately the capabilities of this simulator to represent virtually aspects of reality as operational factors force, time and space in a synthetic computing environment, make this a tool that despite its limitations, it’s suitable for use in the confrontation in action courses.engSimulatorsWargamesBattleship Intelligence PlanningDecision-Making Processbook part10.1007/978-3-319-56541-5_41
