System and method for a man-portable mobile ad-hoc radio based linked extensible network

A method for a portable system, comprising:

• performing radio transceiver functions;
• electronically detecting one or more portable mesh-capable radio transceiver systems;
• electronically transmitting and receiving wireless communications with the one or more portable mesh-capable radio transceiver systems;
• electronically establishing a local ad hoc mesh network with the one or more portable mesh-capable radio transceiver systems;
• performing interoperability gateway functions to access a wide area data communications network;
• performing relay gateway functions for the one or more portable mesh-capable radio transceiver systems;
• electronically receiving an image data from a first camera sensor based on a first local vicinity;
• electronically interpreting at least one of a color, a pattern, or a brightness of the image data;
• creating an exterior image file using a three dimensional shape of the portable system and the interpreted image data;
• and
• electronically transmitting the exterior image file to a light emitting diode (LED) material coupled to an exterior of the portable system, wherein the LED material presents an exterior image to a corresponding portion of the exterior of the portable system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations for a portable system, the operations comprising:

• performing radio transceiver functions;
• electronically detecting one or more portable mesh-capable radio transceiver systems;
• electronically transmitting and receiving wireless communications with the one or more portable mesh-capable radio transceiver systems;
• electronically establishing a local ad hoc mesh network with the one or more portable mesh-capable radio transceiver systems;
• performing interoperability gateway functions to access a wide area data communications network;
• performing relay gateway functions for the one or more portable mesh-capable radio transceiver systems;
• electronically receiving an image data from a first camera sensor based on a first local vicinity;
• electronically interpreting at least one of a color, a pattern, or a brightness of the image data;
• creating an exterior image file using a three dimensional shape of the portable system and the interpreted image data;
• and
• electronically transmitting the exterior image file to a light emitting diode (LED) material coupled to an exterior of the portable system, wherein the LED material presents an exterior image to a corresponding portion of the exterior of the portable system.
