Abstract The LANSCE linear accelerator at Los Alamos National Laboratory provides H⁻ and H⁺ beams to several user facilities that support Isotope Production, NNSA Stockpile Stewardship, and Basic Energy Science programs. These beams are initially accelerated to 750 keV using Cockcroft-Walton (CW) based injectors that have been in operation for over 37 years. To reduce long-term operational risks and to realize future beam performance goals for LANSCE we are completing fabrication of a 4-rod Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and design of an associated beam transport line that together will eventually become the modern injector replacement for the existing obsolete H⁺ injector system. A similar H⁻ system is also planned for future implementation. An update on the status and progress of the project will be presented.
