Abstract: Objective To develop a device which could be used for marine search and location of those overboard.Methods The marine search and location device to retrieve men overboard was chiefly based on radio direction finder and satellite positioning technology,which could transmit back data of identification and vital signs over radio.Results Simulated tests indicated that the device could work properly,and all the indices could be met.Conclusions Comprehensive application of radio direction finding,satellite positioning,monitoring of vital signs and other technology could improve the efficiency of marine search and rescue considerably.
