To maximize the likelihood of rescue, a GPS-based rescue system was designed that could be automatically deployed. This system includes a small, battery-powered victim locating unit, designed to be installed on lifejackets; a rescue vehicle, which autonomously navigates to the victim using GPS; and a mothership host system, which provides navigation vectors to steer the rescue vehicle to the victim and back to the mothership successfully.
