      abstract     = {Accelerator-driven neutron sources provide a cost-efficient
                      and attractive alternative to present neutronsources like
                      fission reactors and spallation sources. With the advent of
                      high-current proton acceleratorsystems, a novel class of
                      such neutron facilities emerged termed High-Current
                      AcceleratordrivenNeutron Sources (HiCANS) with unique
                      properties and possibilities.>The High Brilliance neutron
                      Source project (HBS) at the Forschungszentrum Jülich
                      develops such aHiCANS facility. It utilizes a 70 MeV and 100
                      mA pulsed proton linear accelerator providing tailoredproton
                      pulses with frequencies of 24 Hz or 96 Hz up to three
                      optimized target stations. These targetstations are compact
                      in comparison to spallation neutron sources due to the low
                      energy nuclearreactions releasing neutrons from a high-power
                      tantalum target. It allows for an efficient
                      neutronproduction, moderation and extraction and, thus
                      allowing competitive neutron instrument performances.A
                      detailed Technical Design Report (TDR) has been published,
                      describing all relevant componentsfrom accelerator, target,
                      moderators to instruments. It shows a potential national
                      neutron sourcefacility with up to 24 instruments for all
                      kinds of applications. A target station prototype was
                      builtat a 45 MeV cyclotron and brought into operation with
                      first neutrons December 2022. Experimentsperformed
                      demonstrated the accessibility and flexibility of this new
                      type of source, and the expectedperformance could be
                      evaluated.We will present the current status of the
                      High-Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) HiCANS project aswell
                      as the next steps and milestones for this next generation
