The Carpet-3 air shower array is being built at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory, which is located near Mount Elbrus (North Caucasus) at an altitude of 1700 m above sea level. The main aim of the experiment is gamma-ray astronomy in the energy range above 100 TeV to search for diffuse gamma radiation and sources and to study the generation mechanisms of this radiation. The paper provides an overview of the current state of the experiment, as well as its prospects.
