    Abstract:The Big Fringe Telescope (BFT) is a facility concept
    under development for a next-generation, kilometer-scale optical
    interferometer. Observations over the past two decades from
    routinely operational facilities such as CHARA and VLTI have
    produced groundbreaking scientific results, reflecting the mature
    state of the techniques in optical interferometry. However,
    routine imaging of bright main sequence stars remains a
    surprisingly unexplored scientific realm. Additionally, the
    three-plus decade old technology infrastructure of these
    facilities leads to high operations \& maintenance costs, and
    limits performance. We are developing the BFT, based upon robust,
    modern, commercially-available, automated technologies with low
    capital construction and O\&M costs, in support of
    kilometer-scale optical interferometers that will open the door
    to regular `snapshot' imaging of main sequence stars. Focusing on
    extreme angular resolution for bright objects leads to
    substantial reductions in expected costs through use of COTS
    elements and simplified infrastructure.
