  • Up until the mid-1990s, helmets hadn't evolved far from World War I, until a series of delicate, snowflake-shaped sheets of Aramid were pressed together to form a piece of headgear comfortable enough to wear and tough enough to take a bullet.

  • A must-see look at the manufacturing wizardry behind pistols, fire trucks, ghillie suits and armored fighting vehicles; with troops' lives on the line, there is no margin for error.

  • From standard issue to high-tech, this fascinating show reveals how frontline gear is made; the Jaws of Life, the M1 Abrams tank and the military watch are put under the spotlight.

  • Discover the incredible manufacturing skill that goes into making cavalry swords and simulated ammunition; the brainpower that keeps the iconic F-16 fighter jet in the sky.

  • See how camouflage make-up, the M2 machine gun and the Argo amphibious ATV are built to withstand the toughest conditions.

  • Get to know the essential military kit that could mean the difference between life and death, including combat boots, the CZ 75 pistol, unmanned aerial vehicles and the rifle scope.
