SHOT Show 2026: Eyeviation Brings the World’s First Cognitive-Aware Firearms Training System to Civilian Ranges and Sport Shooters
Friday, January 16th, 2026The AI-powered VCAT system, already proven in elite military and law enforcement units, expands into the civilian market as the first platform designed to train the cognitive and visual-mechanics of shooters.
Shot Show, Jan 20-23, 2026, Las Vegas, Booth #13201
January 14 2026 -Eyeviation, a developer of Human-Aware Artificial Intelligence training systems, will present its VCAT™ Virtual Cognitive-Aware Training system at SHOT Show, marking the introduction of the world’s first cognitive-aware firearms training system to the civilian shooting range and sport shooting markets.
Already operational and validated within elite military and law enforcement units in Israel and the United States, VCAT applies training methodologies developed in high-pressure operational environments to civilian firearms training. The system enables shooters to train without live fire, ammunition, or dedicated lanes, while addressing a layer of performance data that until now could not be measured or systematically trained.
Unlike conventional firearms trainers that assess performance after the shot, VCAT is the first system designed specifically to train the cognitive and visual processes across the full shot cycle. These processes govern shooting performance from target acquisition, through engagement and shot sequencing, and into post-shot recovery, including vision management, attentional control, and decision timing under pressure.
By making these processes visible and measurable, VCAT allows shooters and instructors to identify performance limitations earlier, shorten time to proficiency, and reduce training plateaus. The approach reflects how elite units accelerate skill acquisition and maintain readiness, now adapted for commercial ranges and sport shooters.
“VCAT represents a fundamental shift in how firearms training is structured,” said Or Landwer, CEO of Eyeviation. “As the first system to train the cognitive layer of shooting, it brings elite-level methodologies into civilian environments and allows shooters to focus on what truly drives improvement eminently and immediately.”
Designed for high-frequency, ammunition-free micro-training, VCAT enables a single operator to oversee multiple trainees simultaneously, significantly reducing training costs while increasing availability and safety. Live fire becomes a validation phase rather than the primary learning environment.
