Claim Text:
1. A pointing support device for high shock environments, comprising: a housing configured to be removably attached on an exterior surface of an object, the housing having a base, a front stationary wall and a rear stationary wall, the front stationary wall with an opening; a one piece cylindrically shaped beam having a first end directly and rigidly mounted to the rear stationary wall, a second end aligned with and adjacent to the opening in the front wall, the one piece cylindrically shaped beam consisting of a contiguous cylindrical surface between the first end and the second end; a pointing payload rigidly attached to the second end of the cylindrically shaped beam, wherein the cylindrically shaped beam provides accurate linear and angular positioning of the payload and maintains initial precise pointing of the payload relative to the surface the pointing device is attached to during and after exposure of the housing to shock and vibration; and an externally accessible vertical and lateral adjustment mechanism consisting of only one single vertical adjustment component and only one single lateral adjustment component, the adjustment mechanism directly coupled to the pointing payload for adjusting vertical and lateral position of the payload.
