Today, the observatory's primary observational work is done at the U. S. Navy's higher elevation United States Naval Observatory, Flagstaff Station ( NOFS ) near Flagstaff, Arizona.

Those operations commenced in 1955, and within a decade, the Navy's largest telescope, the 61-inch " Kaj Strand Astrometric Reflector " was built, seeing light at NOFS in 1964.

USNO continues to maintain its dark-sky observatory, NOFS, near Flagstaff, Arizona, which also now oversees the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer.

NOFS opens to the public one weekend annually, in the autumn.

The Navy Precision Optical Interferometer ( NPOI ) is a major astronomical interferometer ( world's largest baselines ), operated by the Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station ( NOFS ) in collaboration with the Naval Research Laboratory ( NRL ) and Lowell Observatory.

In 2009 NOFS began final plans for NPOI to incorporate four aperture optical-infrared telescopes into the array, which were accepted by the Navy in 2010, and assigned to the Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station.

NOFS operates and leads the science for the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer, as noted, in collaboration with Lowell Observatory and the Naval Research Laboratory at Anderson Mesa.

NOFS funds all principle operations, and from this contracts Lowell Observatory to maintain the Anderson Mesa facility and make the observations for NOFS to conduct the primary astrometry.

The OAP commissioned the chief scientist and director of the NPOI to effect the science and operations for the Panel ; this manager is a senior member of the NOFS staff and reports to the NOFS Director.

NPOI is a successful example of the venerable Michelson Interferometer design, with the principle science managed by NOFS.

Lowell Observatory and NRL join in the scientific efforts through their fractions of time to use the interferometer ; science time is 85 % Navy ( NOFS and NRL ); and 15 % Lowell.

NOFS has used NPOI to conduct a wide and diverse series of scientific studies, beyond just the study of absolute astrometric positions of stars ,; additional NOFS science at NPOI includes the study of binary stars, Be Stars, Oblate stars, rapidly rotating stars, those with starspots, and the imaging of stellar disks ( the first in history ) and flare stars.

In 2007 – 2008, NRL with NOFS used NPOI to obtain first-ever closure phase image precursors of satellites orbiting in geostationary orbit.

Installation plans for the 1. 8m Array were developed in 2010-2012 by the scientific and engineering staffs at NOFS, based on the funded science performed by NOFS and NRL.

In 2012 NOFS, with support from USNO, CNMOC and the Chief of Naval Operations ' Oceanographer staff, began developing funding and programming plans in order to install the array.
