Radio emission is uniquely sensitive to a number of key plasma parameters (magnetic field, temperature, density, high-energy electrons, and various plasma waves) over heights ranging without gaps from the chromosphere, throughout the corona and heliosphere, to the Earth. Two ground-based radio arrays, the Frequency Agile Solar Radiotelescope (FASR) and the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), together with the space-based Solar Imaging Radio Array (SIRA) are planned that will for the first time provide direct imaging of disturbances over this vast height range through interferometric imaging over their equally impressive frequency range of 24 GHz to 30 kHz. We describe the science goals of these instruments, focusing especially on the science addressed jointly by all three instruments. Among the examples are (1) simultaneous imaging of CMEs, flaring loops, and shock-associated (type II) emission and (2) imaging the propagation of electrons on open field lines (type III), from their acceleration point through the corona and heliosphere to the point where they are measured in situ by near-Earth spacecraft. In addition to spatially relating the different phenomena, the spectral information is rich in quantitative diagnostics. We give some examples of the revolutionary results we can expect from the combined instruments.
