  The Brookhaven Na­tional Lab­o­ra­tory 200 MeV H− LINAC beam in­stru­men­ta­tion equip­ment has been in op­er­a­tion for four decades with var­i­ous changes im­ple­mented over this pe­riod. There is a need to up­grade the en­tire beam in­stru­men­ta­tion sys­tem of the LINAC to im­prove the di­ag­nos­tics of the beam from the Low En­ergy Beam Trans­port Line through the LINAC and into the LINAC Booster Trans­fer Line and BLIP line. Pro­file Mon­i­tors, Cur­rent Mon­i­tors, Beam Po­si­tion Mon­i­tors, Loss Ra­di­a­tion Mon­i­tors, and Emit­tance Mea­sure­ment de­vices are to be de­signed and im­ple­mented over the next three years. This up­grade will im­prove the op­er­a­tion re­li­a­bil­ity, beam qual­ity and beam losses. Ad­di­tional im­prove­ments will be ob­tained by de­sign­ing the beam in­stru­men­ta­tion sys­tem to in­te­grate with other pro­posed di­ag­nos­tics and mal­func­tion de­tec­tion and dis­play up­grades in the LINAC Con­trol Room to im­prove the over­all per­for­mance of the LINAC.
