    Abstract: Various arrangements relating to on-board autonomous device deactivation systems are presented. In some embodiments, a status signal is output to a transceiver and transmitted via a satellite antenna to a satellite. A timer is executed that indicates a time duration that has elapsed since receiving a previous permissible operation message via the transceiver and the satellite antenna. The time duration is compared with a stored deactivation time. Prior to the time duration reaching or exceeding the stored deactivation time, a permissible operation message indicative of the autonomous device being permitted to continue operation is received. In response to the receipt of such a permissible operation message, the time duration of the timer is reset such that operation of the autonomous device is uninterrupted. In some embodiments, if such a permissible operation message is not received, the autonomous device is disabled.

    Abstract: Various arrangements relating to on-board autonomous device deactivation systems are presented. A status signal may be output to a transceiver and transmitted via a satellite antenna to a satellite. A timer may be executed that indicates a time duration that has elapsed since receiving a previous permissible operation message via the transceiver and the satellite antenna. The time duration may be compared with a stored deactivation time. Prior to the time duration reaching or exceeding the stored deactivation time, a permissible operation message indicative of the autonomous device being permitted to continue operation may or may not be received. In response to the receipt of such a permissible operation message, the time duration of the timer may be reset such that operation of the autonomous device is uninterrupted. If such a permissible operation message is not received, the autonomous device may be disabled.
