Scientific paper

The next generation of radio arrays are being designed under the umbrella of the ``Square Kilometer Array'' (SKA) project. The leading concept for a ``mid-frequency'' (0.3-10 GHz) array is a large wide-field Radio Synoptic SKA (RSSKA), which is being developed for presentation to the upcoming Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey. The RSSKA is targeted at obtaining HI observations of a billion galaxies to redshift z>1.5 over 10000 square degrees, and synoptic mapping of the radio sky for transient detection and monitoring. In this talk I discuss the motivation for and the design challenges facing the RSSKA. Also suggested is a path forward from our current generation of facilities, such as the VLA and Arecibo, towards construction and operation of the RSSKA.
