CLOS

Cognitive Load & Observation System | CLOS
"Cognitive performance meets tactical precision"

CLOS is a patent-pending training aid designed for professionals who demand more from training. Designed with firearms instructors, law-enforcement trainers, and military members in mind, CLOS adds real-time cognitive stress to live-fire and force-on-target scenarios. Getting us closer to creating thinkers, not just shooters. 

By integrating rapid threat/no-threat identification with color-coded shot placement cues, CLOS forces shooters to process information, make split-second decisions, and execute precise actions—exactly the skills required in real-world engagements.
 
If you are looking for a different way to train CLOS offers:
  • Scalable Complexity: More numbers or letters adds to higher-intensity scenario training. When you are ready for it.
  • Universal Compatibility: Works with any standard target system with limited equipment and no electronics.
  • Intentional Design: Durable, portable, cost efficient, and adaptable for law-enforcement, military, instructors and individuals.
Empower yourself or your team to observe and process information faster while increasing confidence in tactics and shooting capability. CLOS—where cognitive performance meets tactical precision.

Key Features


Dynamic Threat/No-Threat Indicators
Color-coded signals (red = head, blue = body, neutral = shooters choice) force instant recognition and decision-making. Randomized presentation keeps shooters from anticipating patterns.

Universal Target Compatibility
Self made cutouts or a sharpie marker can be used to make the correlation to the CLOS—no proprietary targets required. Works indoors or outdoors with live-fire, UTM/Sims, or dry-fire scenarios.

Rapid Setup & Portability
Lightweight, compact design deploys in seconds. Durable cardboard construction stands up to hard use.

Scalable Complexity, Adjustable difficulty
variable difficulty is easy to accomplish creating high-stress, multi-threat CQB evolutions. Ideal for both entry-level academy training and advanced operator programs.
 

Cognitive Load Training
Builds observation, processing speed, and decision accuracy under stress. Integrates seamlessly into the concepts of the OODA loop.

Cost-Effective & Low-Maintenance
No batteries, electronics, or expensive consumables. Internally trapped components keep pieces from being lost.

Instructor-Friendly Design
Simple visual cues for easy evaluation and after-action review. Supports individual, team, and large-group training environments.
