Abstract

The 4-meter Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope will be upgraded with multi-conjugate adaptive optics. Two high-altitude deformable mirrors shall be added, and a multi-directional wavefront sensor system and a real-time control computer cluster will replace the existing counterparts of the operational first-light, classical adaptive optics system in a few years. Herein we give a brief overview of the system. We present the current status of the project including the prototyping for the wavefront sensor system and the real-time control system.
