14 Next steps: Requirements to Specifications Antennas  12m to 25m: FoV requirements  On vs. off axis: DNR requirements Configuration: need simulations  Balance: Core (1km) vs. mid (30km) vs. long (300km)  Some fraction reconfigurable  Need for large single dish + cameras or compact array Receivers  Band ratios: performance v. number  Low frequency limit Phase Calibration: testing at JVLA VLBI implementation: need simulations  New stations vs. ‘ad hoc’

15 Next Steps: Science Case is not Static! Science Advisory Committee Future workshops  SWG focused meetings  Broad community meeting: Open call for papers, early 2017? Possible small grants program NRAO sci-tech support for simulations/calculations Goal: compelling Sci/Tech proposal to DS2020

16 Phase 2 SKA: status unknown? 20 to 115GHz remains new window, regardless Killer Gap Thermal imaging on mas scales at λ ~ 0.3cm to 3cm ?
