The Frequency Agile Solar Radiotelescope (FASR) is a unique, solar-dedicated radio facility slated for completion by 2012. The instrument will address an extremely broad range of solar and space weather science, including routine measurement of coronal magnetic fields, imaging coronal mass ejections near the solar surface, quantitative diagnostics of energy release and particle acceleration in flares, and the extension of the solar corona into the heliosphere. Although the precise details of the FASR design are still being developed, we present for the first time a complete high-level design referred to as the FASR Reference Instrument. The Reference Instrument meets the science requirements and will serve as the basis for cost estimates for construction and operation of the instrument. This paper gives an overview of the FASR Reference Instrument, describes the science goals and objectives, and gives the flowdown of science goals to engineering specifications. The innovative aspects of the FASR design are highlighted, and a complete, end-to-end description of the instrument is given. The instrument operations plan is also discussed.
