DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will present an update on SCUBA-2\,
  a 10000 pixel submillimetre imaging camera for th
 e James Clerk Maxwell telescope. SCUBA-2 has been 
 one of the most challenging projects ever undertak
 en by UK astronomy in that completely new technolo
 gies have been needed to realise the ambitious sci
 ence goals. I will describe some of the critical t
 echnologies that have made SCUBA-2 a reality. Hope
 fully\, by the time of this talk SCUBA-2 will have
  arrived safely in Hilo\, Hawaii! Once it has been
  commissioned SCUBA-2 will play a key part in the 
 JCMT Legacy Survey programme\, which is currently 
 just starting on the telescope. Single dish telesc
 opes will still have a vital role to play in the e
 ra of the new generation interferometers\, such as
  ALMA. The Cornell-Caltech Atacama Telescope (CCAT
 ) is a 25m telescope to be located at 5600m near t
 o the ALMA site. CCAT will work at the shorter sub
 mm wavelengths closer to the peak of the far-infra
 red background and the emission from cold\, unevol
 ved cloud cores. The challenges of CCAT and the me
 gapixel camera that is being envisaged will be pre
 sented.
