Claim 18:
19. A pointing support apparatus for high shock environments, comprising:
a housing having a base, a front stationary wall and a rear stationary wall, the front stationary wall having an opening;
a one piece shaped beam comprising a base first end rigidly mounted and fixed directly to the rear stationary wall, and a tip second end aligned with and adjacent to the opening in the front stationary wall, and a section intermediate the first end and the second end that has a parabolic profile;
a pointing payload rigidly attached to the second end of the one piece shaped beam, wherein the one piece shaped beam provides accurate linear and angular positioning of the payload and maintains initial precise pointing of the payload relative to the pointing device during and after exposure of the housing to shock and vibration; and
an externally accessible vertical and lateral adjustment mechanism comprising a vertical adjustment control and a lateral adjustment control, the adjustment mechanism directly coupled to the pointing payload for adjusting a vertical and a lateral position of the payload.
