Training and simulation
Keshet Yehonatan
Cherev's marksmanship and tactical-training system, built for units that must repeat their hardest scenarios often, measure the result and correct it before the next drill. Designed by instructors who went on operations with the people they trained.
What it does
Drill, measure, review, repeat
- 01
Scenario-based drills
Marksmanship and tactical drills built from the situations our team trained for and encountered: close-quarters engagement, low light, urban movement and decision under stress. Scenarios are configured per unit and per skill level.
- 02
Measured performance
Each run records what the trainee did, in what order and how fast. Instructors see individual and unit trends instead of relying on memory of the last drill.
- 03
After-action review
A structured review after every drill, so the correction is specific: which decision, which second, which trainee. The review is run by the instructor, supported by the recorded data.
- 04
No live-fire injury risk
Drills run without live ammunition, so units can repeat high-risk scenarios at a frequency live ranges do not allow, and at lower cost per repetition.

Current threats
Training that changes as fast as the threat
The scenarios units need have changed since October 7, 2023: fighting in built-up terrain, response to mass-casualty events, and small drones as a primary threat to infantry. We keep the drills current because the people writing them are still in contact with the units living those threats.
- 01
Assessment
We review the unit's current training, threat picture and gaps with its own instructors.
- 02
Program design
Scenarios, progression and measurement are defined against the unit's operational requirements.
- 03
Delivery and review
Drills run with the unit's instructors. Recorded performance drives the after-action review and the next iteration.
