Attachabel stabilization bracket for the versatile mine system

2- The stabilizer system of claim 1 wherein said first and second clamping means are parallel with one another, said undersea package is elongate and cylindrically-shaped, and said first and second clamping means are longitudinally spaced apart from one another on said cylindrically-shaped undersea package.

3- The stabilizer system of claim 2 further comprising:

• means extending through said first and second clamping means for engaging said flat base surface providing means to hold said undersea package in said fixed orientation.

4- The stabilizer system of claim 3 further comprising:

• means on said upper surfaces and said curved surfaces for resiliently engaging said undersea package therebetween.

5- The stabilizer system of claim 4 wherein said upper surfaces have essentially semi-circular cross-sectional shapes, said curved surfaces have essentially semi-circular cross-sectional shapes, and said outer contours of said undersea package form an essentially circular cross-sectional shape.

6- A stabilizer for a cylindrical-shaped undersea package comprising:

• an outrigger base assembly having a flat base surface to rest on the sea floor, said outrigger base assembly being provided with upper surfaces having a semi-circular cross-sectional configuration to contiguously fit adjacent to round outer contours of an undersea package and said outrigger base assembly having outrigger portions laterally extending said flat base surface therefrom;
• and
• first and second case clamps provided with curved surfaces having semi-circular cross-sectional configurations and extending above said outrigger base assembly, said first and second clamps being shaped to clamp said curved surfaces onto said round contours of said undersea package and said upper surfaces of said outrigger base assembly onto said round contours of said undersea package, said first and second case clamps securing said undersea package in a fixed orientation.

7- The stabilizer of claim 6 wherein said first and second clamps are parallel with one another, said undersea package is an elongate, cylindrically-shaped emulator of mines, and said first and second clamps are longitudinally spaced apart from one another on said cylindrically-shaped emulator.

8- The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said first and second clamps include a plurality of threaded bolts extending through holes to engage mating threaded bores in said outrigger base assembly to hold said cylindrically-shaped emulator in said fixed orientation.

9- The apparatus of claim 8 wherein said upper surfaces of said outrigger base assembly and said curved surfaces of said first and second clamps are provided with resilient pads to engage said cylindrically-shaped emulator.

10- The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said outrigger portions of said outrigger base assembly laterally extend beyond said cylindrically-shaped emulator to increase stability.
