Abstract:
A mounting device that is used to suspend items in a specific location inside the cavity of a tubular structure, such as a munition, is disclosed. The mounting device includes: a pedestal for leading the insertion of the mounting device into a cavity of a munition and a skeletal frame. The skeletal frame defines an opening therein for holding an article inside the outermost portion of the skeletal frame. In some cases, the skeletal frame may have a fixed configuration. In other cases, the skeletal frame may be collapsible and expandable so that it may be inserted into a cavity of a munition having an obstruction therein. Methods of inserting and mounting an article inside an internal explosive cavity of a munition are also disclosed.
