ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber data link (14) between a missile (12) and a moving platform (10) launch site has a wound stack canister (16) on the platform and a second canister (18) that is aboard the missile. A first version of the platform canister (16) locates the wound stack (20) within an enclosure (26) with the fiber being payed out through an opening (28) in the enclosure which has a curved flared edge portion (30). In yet another version, the platform canister (32) is mounted within a gimbal (38) enabling the fiber payout direction to follow a path that does not result in damage to the fiber.
