Abstract
The new accelerator complex Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is still under construction at JINR, Dubna. Two Linacs should serve as injectors for this new accelerator complex. LU-20 as an Alvarez based lLinac for light polarized ions and the new Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator HILAC dedicated to heavy ion beam operation. Main results of the HILAC commissioning with carbon beam from the laser ion source should be discussed. Besides a new R&D-project is ongoing to developed superconducting cavities for a new light ion linear injector which created to upgrade the injector complex. The current status of linac design and results of the beam dynamics simulations and SRF technology developments should be presented as well.
