Ooo, there's another one to look at. There seem to be a bunch of these with variously-overlapping goals. Two more I'm aware of:

And I feel like the PirateBox concept is sort of adjacent.

I saw a local agency demo their use of the pirate box for Wildland firefighting.

They had a GIS team working on mapping updates to fire lines, cut lines, dozer paths, crew assignments, etc. And as required they'd upload everything to the pirate box and the commanders / captains could download the maps to their tablets.

Amazing stuff all without internet.
