FutureWeapons season 3 episode 3, Close Protection, takes a closer look at the weapons and technology used in the field of personal protection. In this episode, host Richard Machowicz travels to Germany to test out some of the latest gear in protecting high-value targets.

The episode starts off with Machowicz in a training facility where he is put through several scenarios to test out the effectiveness of different types of body armor. He tests various types of armor, including one that is designed to protect against knife attacks and another that is designed to withstand multiple bullet impacts.

Next, Machowicz meets with a company that specializes in laser weapons. He tests out a handheld laser that is designed to temporarily blind attackers. The device is able to emit a high-powered beam that causes the attacker to be temporarily disoriented. Machowicz considers this device to be a game-changer since it can be used without causing any permanent harm to the attacker.

The next segment of the show takes Machowicz to a company that specializes in counter-drone technology. With drones becoming increasingly common, the company is working on developing systems to protect against unwanted aerial intruders. Machowicz tests out a drone that is equipped with a net to capture unwanted drones. The drone is remotely controlled and is able to quickly capture unwelcome drones.

Finally, Machowicz meets with a manufacturer of smart vests and helmets. These devices are equipped with sensors that detect if a wearer has been shot or stabbed. The sensors are connected to a central monitoring system, which immediately alerts authorities in case of an incident. Machowicz tests out the smart helmet and vest and is impressed with the level of protection they can provide.

Overall, FutureWeapons season 3 episode 3, Close Protection, showcases the latest innovations in personal protection technology. Machowicz tests out everything from body armor to laser weapons to counter-drone technology. The episode provides a fascinating look at the cutting-edge gear being used in the field of personal security.
