Abstract
The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest observatory in the world for the detection of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. The Auger Collaboration started collecting data in 2004, and, so far, results have led to many significant discoveries in this field but also to puzzling observations. To answer all the key questions that are still open it was decided to extend the operation of the Observatory up to 2024 and to enhance its capability in identifying the mass of the primary cosmic rays. Motivations for the upgrade will be described together with some hardware characteristics of the project
