Abstract
A new technique for determining the search area for maritime search and rescue operations is presented. This technique, which is based on a statistical description of the uncertainties in determining the drift track of a life raft, offers significant improvement over current, deterministic techniques. Two examples of hypo-thetical search situations are also given.
