The Global Network of Astronomical Telescopes (GNAT) is anon-profit research corporation established for the purpose of creating a longitudinally distributed network of identical telescopes and imaging systems which can be dedicated to a variety of astronomical problems which require temporal observations, often at high time frequency. The first telescopes in the network will be imaging photometry system; later telescopes will be equipped for spectrophotometry. The network will be centrally scheduled and all of the telescopes in the network will be operated automatically under local host computer control. It is intended that GNAT will serve research, education and community outreach needs. In this paper we report on the current status of development of the GNAT network.
