GI FACTORY
With host Kelly Perdew of The Apprentice fame, GI FACTORY takes viewers
inside the fascinating and secretive world of military equipment. Each
episode explores three factories to reveal how they make the gear, vehicles
and weapons America's fighting forces need. In addition to getting deep
into the nuts and bolts of the process, Perdew (also a West Point graduate
and Army Ranger) introduces viewers to the designers who create the
product, the engineers who test it before it goes into battle and the
hardworking folks on the factory floor who craft, shape, weld and hammer
raw materials into battle-ready systems.
 Episode Three World
Premiere: Friday, April 7th, 8 PM
In this episode, host Kelly Perdew takes us to the Philadelphia plant where workers craft one of the most legendary military aircraft ever, the
CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Viewers will see why the Chinook is a key
part of every rescue mission from Pakistan to Katrina. Next, Perdew
visits Northrop Grumman in Tennessee to find out how they make the Andros
F6A, a bomb-defusing robot that is designed to take a hit so
soldiers don't. Last stop - Dillon Aero in Scottsdale, Ariz., where Kelly
boards a helicopter and test fires the 3,000-shot-per-minute M134D
mini-gun. |
