Some Hollywood points in this direction. E.g. the Behind Enemy Lines ejection scene. Seems like a pretty good idea to self-destruct the most sensitive hardware

Seems like a pretty good idea to self-destruct the most sensitive hardware (computers/chips/storage modules/etc) if recovery of the aircraft is no longer feasible.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y ago> self-destruct Ooh, yeah. Let's add even more failure modes!
- actionfromafar 3y agoFor drones it makes sense. Drones could boot up with all config in RAM so as to be completely devoid of mission parameters once power is cut.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoSure. There's no way that in combat you could experience a temporary power loss. Nope, that could never happen.
- actionfromafar 3y agoIf your drone has power loss during flight, I think you have other problems.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoPay close attention to the word "temporary." In normal flight, it's not that unusual for flight instruments to have to be rebooted because of unexpected glitches.
