An unmanned maritime vehicle (UMV) pin array release and capture chamber system includes a chamber assembly having two parallel plates of pin arrays from which a plurality of pins extends and retract vertically opposite each other so as to release and capture a UMV. The pin arrays are separated from each other by a space having two vertical and two horizontal sides, and the space is sized so as to receive the UMV. Each pin arrays may be housed in a pin array chamber enclosure. The chamber assembly may be attached to a moving object, such as a naval vessel, above or below the surface of water, or may be stationary with respect to the water movement, or may be stationary with respect to the ground such as a pier.
