Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods for controlling the ability of a remote control to control at least one remotely controlled device. The systems, methods and apparatus including providing at least one remote controlled remotely controlled device, communicatively coupling the remotely controlled device to a respective driver interface, communicatively coupling the remotely controlled device to a field management system, and sending a signal from the field management system directly to the remotely controlled device. The signal modifies control by the driver interface of the remotely controlled device and modifies power to the remotely controlled device.
