  We present a proposal for the construction and development of a new
instrument for radio astronomical observations based on interferometric
techniques, that will provide high angular resolution in the 21 cm band, with
the intention of improving and extending the current performance of the
instruments used at the Argentine Institute of Radio Astronomy. This will allow
internationally competitive scientific research and the acquisition of
cutting-edge scientific and technological know-how in the aforementioned
techniques, enabling interferometric measurements and the development of very
long baseline or VLBI techniques. This project is called MIA, an acronym for
"Multipurpose Interferometric Array".
