METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPENSING AN OPTICAL FIBER FROM A POWERED MISSILE THROUGH THE MOTOR EXHAUST ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A length of filament (32), wire or optical fiber, is wound into a pack (30) on a cylindrical drum (44) located within an open-ended housing (38). The housing is mounted within a missile (26) with the housing open end (38) facing aft. An undersized front wall (48) fits over the enclosure open end leaving a circular gap or space (50) through which the filament is dispensed. An outer end portion of the filament is reinforced (42) both mechanically and thermally to allow dispensing through outer regions of the missile rocket plume. The walls defining the circular gap (50) brake the filament dispensing to a predetermined maximum speed.
