The Very Energetic Radiation Telescope Array System, VERITAS, consists of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes and will be fully operational in December 2006. The system will provide increased sensitivity for gamma ray sources, a lower energy threshold and significant better accuracy in the reconstruction of direction and energy of the incoming gamma rays. Here we present a study based on detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the main characteristics of VERITAS at its current site. We show further the improvement expected of extending the current two telescopes to three telescopes in Autummn 2006 and finally four telescopes in Winter 2006.
