A unique application of optical fiber for use as a missile guidance link is described. This application utilizes a single fiber payed out from the missile during flight to provide a full duplex bi-directional data link between the missile and the ground control station. The unique properties of the link as applied to missile weaponry and the implications of these features on link design are discussed. The Army Missile Laboratory is presently conducting a supporting research program whose objective is the flight demonstration of sucn a data link. The hardware constructed during this program and its performance is presented.
