Boeing US7142971B2 — uninterruptible automatic control
Remote engagement · disconnected onboard controls
Confirmed patent disclosure. Claims include remote initiation, dedicated comms distinct from other aircraft communications, disabled onboard override, and automatic landing at a predetermined (including military) site.
Use as engineering precedent only. The working report’s technical test remains: hardware on 9M-MRO, not imaginability.
