A system remotely monitors a potential drowning victim and remotely and passively detects one or more drowning indicia. Upon detecting one or more drowning indicia, the system acquires location coordinates of the victim and activates a self-propelled robotic submersible, which travels to the victim's location and uses one or more sensors to position itself directly below the victim in the body of water. When the sensors have confirmed the position of the submersible directly below the victim, the submersible initiates the rescue operation by lifting or floating the victim above the surface of the water. The submersible then transports the victim to an area where he/she can be resuscitated and receive medical attention.
