Claim:
1. A pointing support device for high shock environments, comprising: a housing having a base, a front stationary wall and a rear stationary wall, the front stationary wall with an opening; a one piece cylindrical shaped beam having only a first end rigidly mounted and fixed directly to the rear stationary wall, a second end aligned with and adjacent to the opening in the front wall; a pointing payload rigidly and fixedly attached to the second end of the cylindrical beam, wherein the cylindrical beam provides accurate linear and angular positioning of the payload and maintains initial precise pointing of the payload relative to a 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 be deflecting the beam along vertical and lateral orientation.
