TL;DR: The Boolardy test array as discussed by the authors is a prototype of the Australian square kilometre array pathfinder telescope with a six-antenna interferometer, fitted with prototype signal processing hardware capable of forming at least nine dual-polarisation beams simultaneously.

TL;DR: The Boolardy engineering test array is a prototype of the Australian square kilometre array pathfinder telescope, fitted with prototype signal processing hardware capable of forming at least nine dual-polarisation beams simultaneously, allowing several square degrees to be imaged in a single pointed observation.

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the system level RF design for the second generation architecture used in the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) design enhancement (ADE) is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisit the "cluster-cluster" or multi-view Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique from the perspective of its synergy with the multi-beam features inherent in the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) and its potential to improve the outcomes of VLBI observations with ASKAP.

TL;DR: It is concluded that joint observations of ASKAP with other multi-view sites using cluster-cluster techniques would improve the outcomes of the high spatial resolution component of AsKAP applied to astrometric projects, achieving higher precision for many more targets, and with lower detection thresholds.
