ABSTRACT:
A missile optical waveguide for the transmission of signals is wound as a package body, can be withdrawn from the package body during missile flight, and is provided with an outer coating having a rectangular outer contour and a wall thickness which is cross-sectionally non-uniform and is thickest in the corner areas of the outer coating. The coating can be provided with embedded fiber reinforcements, whereby the light-signal-transmitting glass fiber of the optical waveguide is effectively protected from unacceptably high tensile and pressure loads which interfere with the quality of the transmission. The winding volume is thereby reduced and problem-free axial withdrawal of the optical waveguide from the package body is ensured.
