Patent number: 9135473Abstract: A method and system for destroying information stored on a data storage device located onboard a vehicle in order to prevent unfriendly forces from obtaining the information is described. The method and system are initiated when the operator of the vehicle activates a triggering mechanism. The information may be destroyed by physically damaging the data storage device on which the information is stored or by releasing a software virus into the device on which the sensitive information is stored. A software virus may also be transmitted to a computer of an unfriendly force attempting to access the sensitive information.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2007Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: William J.
