Summary:We describe the current status of the HARMONI instrument design, which will form the basis for the first-light integral field spectrograph on the European Extremely Large Telescope. We review the phase A design, and highlight current on-going work to evolve the design in-line changing telescope requirements and lessons learned during the Phase A work. We also outline the key science drivers for the instrument, and describe briefly the requirements for the laser tomographic adaptive optics system which is expected to feed HARMONI.
