The paper presents the results of mathematical and experimental modeling of in-line production of inertial fusion energy (IFE) targets of a reactor-scaled design. The technical approach is the free-standing target (FST) layering method in line-moving spherical shells. This includes each step of the fabrication and injection processes in the FST transmission line (FST-TL) considered as a potential solution of the problem of mass target manufacturing. Finely, we discuss the development strategy of the FST-TL creation seeking to develop commercial power production based on laser IFE.
