Abstract
At present, some large-scale programs are carried out in various countries that are aimed towards development of a new class of ground and space telescopes for both civil and military use. Being now at different stages of implementation, these programs have been initiated by both scientific and military and political causes and, to a large extent, owing to emerging technologies coupled mainly with active and adaptive optics.
