Abstract
A fragile, movable apparatus such as a rotatable infrared optical prism assembly is mounted in a projectile housing on a crushable support pad. When the projectile is launched, the fragile, movable apparatus crushes the pad and receives effective support from the pad. After launch, a resilient member positions the fragile, movable apparatus away from the crushed pad and provides the necessary freedom of movement for the fragile, movable apparatus.
