One example aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method. The method can include determining, by one or more autonomous distress tracking (ADT) devices installed in a designated fire zone, a state of the vehicle. When the state of the vehicle is the normal state, the method can include transmitting first data via a first transmitter at a first interval, wherein the first transmitter is configured to transmit messages over a frequency band used for normal communications. When the state of the vehicle is the possible distress state, the method can include transmitting second data via the first transmitter at a second interval. When the state of the vehicle is the distress state, the method can include transmitting third data continuously via a second transmitter, wherein the second transmitter is configured to transmit messages over a frequency band reserved for emergency communications.
