A man overboard recovery system for use on a vessel includes one or more unmanned aerial systems configured to autonomously locate and engage a man overboard using onboard sensing equipment. Unmanned aerial system launch, recovery, health and status monitoring, and integration with existing systems is facilitated by a ground station(s) located on the vessel, in the cloud, at a remote monitoring center, or any combination of these. The unmanned aerial system(s) locates a man overboard using onboard sensing equipment including cameras or sensors for heat, infrared, ultraviolet, visible spectrum, radio frequency, or other measurable stimuli that could be used to detect and track the presence of a human body. The unmanned aerial system(s) may be configured to relay data including audio, video, location, health and status information to or from the ground station(s) and to release a payload of safety or survival apparatus in close proximity to the man overboard.
