Abstract
GHz radio astronomy has played a fundamental role in the multi-messenger discovery of the binary neutron star merger GW170817. We show how the projected increase in sensitivity of gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade dramatically calls for an improvement in both sensitivity and spatial resolution on current U.S.-based radio arrays.
