Abstract
A next generation atmospheric Cherenkov observatory is described based on the Whipple Observatory γ-ray telescope. A total of nine such imaging telescopes will be deployed in an array that will permit the maximum versatility and give high sensitivity in the 50 GeV - 50 TeV band (with maximum sensitivity from 100 GeV to 10 TeV).
