In mid-2004 a near-infrared wide field camera will be commissioned on UKIRT. About 40% of all UKIRT time will go into sky surveys and one of these, the Large Area Survey using YJHK filters, will extend the field brown dwarf population to temperatures and masses significantly lower than those of the T dwarf population discovered by the Sloan and 2MASS surveys. The LAS should find objects as cool as 450 K and as low mass as 10 MJupiter at 10 pc. These planetary-mass objects will possibly require a new spectral type designation.
