Default Enhanced Flight Monitoring and Flight Control

In an attempting to find a solution to uncontrolled A/C's due to Pilot Incapacitation a group of associates and I have some put some ideas together, (some have already been designed, tested and in use).

With recent tragic events in Asia and the Alps a "Safety Net" Option would be the next level added to Commercial Aviation Safety with an enhanced Flight Monitoring and Ground based or Other Surveillance Platform (i.e. P-3 etc) and Emergency Off-Site Telemetry based Flight Control.

Here's what I have so far;

1) An the Out-of-Normal Flt Parameter is detected;

2) A non responsive flight deck is detected and;

3) Separate and unassociated monitoring entities validate the parameter alert and execute certain flight deck data validations in another attempt to get the flt deck to respond.

4) Flight Deck validations aren't received or acted upon;

5) Flight "ALERT" is then activated;

5) ALERT Telemetry is then sent to the A/C where the A/C will be put in a Class A Airspace vectored flight pattern.

This can either be pre-programmed into the A/C's existing systems or can be sent via encrypted telemetry flight control commands.

This ALERT type system/procedures have already been developed, tested and operational in certain Mil Flight Environments.

Flight monitoring and telemetry can be simultaneously monitored and then directed by, FAA/TRACON, DUATS/DoD, Company Ops and a 3rd Party, (most likely the manufacture) for a multi redundancy plan.

Telemetry commands would be coordinated between Company Ops and another Monitoring Entity, (more then likely DoD as a flight intercept would be in-progress).

If a $500.00 Hobby-Level Octocopter and a $15 Mil UAS have similar "Imminent Safety Initiated Control Commands" why wouldn't this work in Commercial Aviation.

Thoughts/Comments?
