An energy beam-forming array of N+2 stations which utilizes a companion network of N optical sensors which mutually image each other to determine deviations of the optical sensors, and therefore the energy-receptive sensors, from a common linear axis. Each optical sensor measures the equivalent of a second-difference, which are then combined to reconstruct the actual array deviations. Each optical sensor is equipped with at least one pinpoint light source, to provide a light beam to an imaging subsystem provided at the next sensor station. The imaging subsystem includes a lens, either simple or compound, coupled to a retinal sensor array. The location of the light source image at the retinal array provides all of the necessary information for reconstruction of the array sensor location.
