An optical fiber (18) payout system for a missile (10) which is to be hot-launched from a tube t12) reinforces that part of the fiber to be exposed to propulsion gases by juxtaposing with one or more wires (24) and encasing within a thermally protective sheath (22) forming a so-called leader (20). The leader (20) extends outwardly of the missile aft end (16) and is releasably secured within a rail assembly (32) by a flexible strip (46) having a line of perforations (48) extending along its longitudinal axis. The outer end portion of the leader (20) is secured to an anchor block (52). On launch, the leader (20) tears loose from the flexible strip (46), the restraining action of which prevents optical fiber predispensing.
