The Naval Research Laboratory and the US Naval Observatory are building a phase tracking optical interferometer for high resolution imaging and astrometry. This instrument will be a six element interferometer capable of true imaging using interferometric amplitudes and closure phases. This talk will describe the instrument, with an emphasis on those aspects of the array related to high resolution imaging. The status of the project will be presented. First light is planned for October 1993, with 6 element imaging beginning in 1994.
