This document describes the top level requirements for the SKA-AAMID telescope as determined by the SKA key science projects. These include parameters such as operating frequency range,instantaneous bandwidth (total processed bandwidth), field of view (or survey speed, as appropriate), sensitivity, dynamic range, polarization purity etc. Moreover, through the definition of a set of science requirements, this document serves as input to a number of other documents contained within the System Requirements Review package. (particularly SKA-TEL-MFAA-0200005: `SKA-AAMID System Requirements' and SKA-TEL-MFAA-0200008: `MFAA Requirements').
