This paper presents the integration of flow field reconstruction, dynamic probabilistic modeling, search control, and machine vision detection in a system for autonomous maritime search operations. Field experiments conducted in Valun Bay (Cres Island, Croatia) involved real-time drifter data acquisition, surrogate flow model fitting based on computational fluid dynamics and numerical optimization, advanced multi-UAV search control and vision sensing, as well as deep learning-based object detection. The results demonstrate that a tightly coupled approach enables reliable detection of floating targets under realistic uncertainties and complex environmental conditions, providing concrete insights for future autonomous maritime search and rescue applications.
