emplaced
Set in position
Emplaced is the past tense of emplace, meaning to put into position or place.
The word appears most often in military contexts, describing weapons or equipment set up in fixed locations: The artillery was emplaced on the ridge overlooking the valley.
Outside military usage, emplaced describes anything deliberately positioned: boulders emplaced by glaciers, sensors emplaced along the fault line.
