Every test at the US Army's mad science lab

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, from Arctic warfare to drone-filled battlefields.
