Summary:
"From the Jeep and RADAR to the interstate highway system, countless technologies and constructions that we take for granted in our everyday lives got their start as top-secret (or at least strictly military) programs. Tactical to Practical shows how they make the move into common use, talking to the engineers and scientists who invent, refine and transform the machines and technologies, as well as the people who use them. This premier episode features the captivating stories behind the emergence of the Hummer, night vision technology and GPS systems. Host Hunter Ellis looks at what the H-2 Hummer has to say about the future of SUVs, see how law enforcement organizations are following the military's lead in owning the night, and watch as hard-core adventurers set off on a Geo-Dash, made possible by their handheld GPS systems."--Publisher's website.
