Default Battlefield Management Systems

I was musing on BMSs when I was doing French Wheeled APCs last night, and I thought, "This could be a real security risk if a vehicle is captured or not damaged enough to knock out the system, but kill the crew." I haven't been able to find out if a BMS can be erased remotely like a SINGCARS radio can, but even if it can, there could still be an opening there between the discovery that a unit has been knocked out but the BMS is still operating and the erasure of the BMS. Any opinions?

For an example BMS:

More and more vehicles are being equipped with this type of system these days.
