Inside the Natick Soldier Systems Center, the US Army puts its own gear through extreme tests — burning uniforms, freezing equipment, and pushing soldiers to their limits — to make sure everything can survive the harshest environments on Earth. We go inside the Army’s “mad science lab” to see how scientists design life-saving body armor, develop long-lasting MREs, and prepare for future conflicts, like Arctic warfare to drone-filled battlefields.
