FiGSS, the Five GHz Sky Survey, is a key project of the Allen Telescope Array. The principle goal is exploration of the static and transient radio sky at 5 GHz at flux densities an order of magnitude fainter than the best existing survey and matching FIRST and NVSS sensitivities, covering a large fraction of the northern sky, and exploring transient time scales from days to months through a tiered approach. Specific results of the survey will be detection of 250,000 radio sources in a 10,000 square degree region of the North Galactic Cap; daily monitoring of a 10 square degree region; automated identification and notification of transient sources in real time; and, multi-wavelength identification of sources overlapping with SDSS, FERMI, and other large surveys. FiGSS builds on the tools developed for ATATS (Croft et al.) and has been launched in Spring 2009. We present initial images and results from the survey.
