Abstract
We discuss the NC3 Networking Experimentation Modules for studying Trans/Post Resilient Mesh Networking solutions They represent a set of hands-on field experiments focused on integration and operation of Trans/Post Resilient Mesh Networks( TP-RES MESH). The TP-RES MESH will utilize maritime-land self-forming mesh networking enclaves, R/N sensors, cubesats, rapidly deployed stratospheric aerial nodes , and links to partner agency/nation assets. Geographically, the experimentation area will span from places like Offutt, Barksdale, or Hanscom, to the assisting sites in SF Bay and Camp Roberts. The series of TP-RES MESH experiments, conducted by students quarterly, will serve as field laboratories to support the TR-RES MESH NOC class and related NC3 certificate studies
