The facility is being designed to provide intense primary and radioactive beams for a wide range of research fields. The HIAF facility plan was approved by central government of China in December 2015. The machine studies are now mainly focused on design optimization and key technical R&D.The unique features of the first phase of HIAF are high current pulsed beams from iLinac and high intensity heavy ion beams with ultra-short bunch length from BRing. The cooled rare isotope beams also will be prepared through projectile-fragmentation (PF) method and advanced beam cooling technology. To reach the main goals of the HIAF facility, there are still several technical challenges such as operation with high intensity beams, control of the dynamic vacuum pressure, beam compression for very short pulse beam and the design of Nuclotron-type superconducting magnets. For most of those challenges solutions have been found and prototypes are being built through close international collaborations. The general description, accelerator challenges and present status are given in the presentation. PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
