Stand-off charge system including an attachment bracket and related methods

A method of operating an exemplary stand-off charge system including an attachment bracket comprising:

• providing an adjustable stand-off charge mounting or attachment bracket apparatus comprising;
• a first frame assembly comprising a first plate or frame section formed with a first aperture as well as a first, second, third, and fourth elongated frame sections, said first, second, third, and fourth elongated frame sections each comprising a first and second opposing end, said first ends of said first through fourth elongated frame sections are perpendicularly coupled or attached with one side of said first plate section at spaced apart sections of said first plate around said first aperture;
• a second frame assembly comprising a second plate or frame section formed with a second aperture as well as a fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth elongated frame sections, said fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth elongated frame sections each comprising a third and fourth opposing end, said third ends of said fifth through eight elongated frame sections are perpendicularly coupled or attached with one side of said second plate section at spaced apart sections of said second plate around said second aperture;
• a locking structure disposed in, formed into, or positioned with respect to said first frame assembly configured to selectively lock said first frame assembly with respect to motion or movement by said second frame assembly;
• a plurality of first coupling structures formed into or attached with said first or second plate section disposed around either said first or second aperture, wherein said plurality of first coupling structures are configured to provide a coupling or attaching force sufficient to prevent said bracket and said stand-off charge coupled to said bracket from moving relative to a mounting surface including a target surface caused by a first force, wherein said first force comprises a gravitational force equal to a weight of said bracket and said stand-off charge;
• a textile skirt comprising integrated hooks and rings coupled to either said first or second plate section, wherein said hooks and rings are configured to couple with said mounting surface;
• and
• a plurality of second coupling structures adapted to couple with or receive insertion of a stand-off charge configured to secure said stand-off charge comprising a shaped charge, wherein said plurality of second coupling structures are positioned or disposed on said first or second frame assemblies to orient said stand-off charge to direct a blast force direction generated by said stand-off charge into a center section of either said first or second aperture;
• wherein said first, second, third and fourth elongated frame sections are hollow and formed to slideably receive a portion of said fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth elongated frame sections;
• extending either said first or second frame assemblies from each other to a predetermined stand-off distance associated with the stand-off charge;
• coupling said first or second plate or end of said bracket to said mounting surface with said plurality of first coupling structures;
• coupling or disposing the stand-off charge at said first plate or end with a blast or shaped charge direction oriented towards the second in the second plate of the bracket;
• detonating said shaped or stand-off charge after personnel mounting said charge have moved away from said shaped or stand-off charge.

A method associated with an exemplary stand-off charge system including an attachment bracket comprising:
