Ku-ga- Bijon
Since the Japanese for Cougar is simply the phonetic version Ku-ga-, I think that I would simply give the phonetic version of vision too as
"Ku-ga- Bijon"
クーガー・ビジョン

Mike is very fast and has give the same answer except he is wavering between Ku-ga (kuuga) and Ku-ga- (Kuugaa) both are used. His Japanese character representation does not have the long ¥"a¥"
If you can¥'t see the characters, I have uploaded the image to
http://leuers.tripod.com/prozbm-cougarvision.bmp
As Mike says, the dot in the middle can be ommitted to make it all one long phonetic word. ¥"Cougar-vision¥"
But basically, I lost.

クーガビジョン "kuugaa bijon"
I would probably just transliterate this one into katakana:
"Cougar" is pronounced: kuugaa
"Vision" is often pronounced as bijon.
Hope this helps!

Timothy¥'s (クーガービジョン）below sounds better to me. It¥'s just a matter of taste, I guess, but I think the long a works better with the ¥"bijon¥" following it. Better rhythm maybe.

: I think that there is a trend not to use the the last chracter "ー" in "クーガー" when translating in katakana, such as "computer" to "コンピュータ".
