Abstract

We will present the status of the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer. We will discuss upgrades that occurred over the course of the last couple of years, their related scientific achievements, ongoing and future work. We will discuss the improvements done to the infrastructure of the site, the return to observations with 6 telescopes simultaneously and the results of these observations. We will discuss the deployment of new capabilities, such as an infrared beam combiner, siderostat controllers and a new angle tracker. We will also present the deployment of the Amon Hen hypertelescope experiment and changes done to the inner room in order to accommodate the use of both systems without the need of large rearrangements of the optics.
