Summary:
"Join host Hunter Ellis for another fact-packed look at how military creations have gone mainstream. In the first segment, strap in for high-speed runs in Baja dune buggies that were inspired by a special order from the SEALs, and see how ATVs have made their mark on the battlefield. Next, examine the immense debt that emergency medicine has to battlefield doctors, from cutting-edge triage methods to "smart bandages." And finally, we look to the skies, where unmanned drone aircraft are just starting to emerge into civilian use. Whether taking sensors low over volcanoes or flying cameras over Hollywood sets, these unmanned vehicles are making an impact in all sorts of areas--and changing the way wars are fought."--Publisher's website.
