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:
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.- 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.
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.
