Abstract A system includes a submersible drone comprising a payload, a propulsion system and a navigation system for determining the drone's position relative to a reference position. The drone comprises a magnet for attaching the drone to a submerged ferromagnetic surface of an object. A targeting system comprises a rangefinder for measuring a relative distance between the rangefinder and the object, and an orientation device for determining a relative bearing from the orientation device to the object. A wireless communication system communicatively connects the targeting system and drone together. A guidance system generates drive instructions based on telemetry data, the data including the position, reference position, relative distance and bearing, received in whole or in part via the wireless communication system. A drone control system controls the propulsion system in accordance with the drive instructions to move the drone to the object to attach the magnet to the surface. N IlL CD I, D T-I
