Abstract
The KM3NeT Collaboration has started the implementation of the ARCA detector, the next generation of the underwater kilometre cube scale neutrino telescope. The ARCA detector will be located in the Mediterranean Sea close to the Sicilian coast, about 100 km offshore Capo Passero at a depth of 3500 m. This location will allow surveying a large part of the sky, including most of the Galactic Plane and the Galactic Centre. The first lines have been deployed and the analysis ongoing to validate the detector performance. We will present the status of KM3NeT/ARCA and the future prospects of the project.
