  Vacuum Arc Ion Sources and filament driven Multi Cusp Ion Sources are used for the production of high current ion beams of a variety of metallic and gaseous ions at the GSI accelerator facility. For the future project FAIR (Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research) it is foreseen to provide in addition a high current proton beam and an exclusive uranium beam from two new ion source injectors. The contribution gives an overview of the performance of the existing high current injector and presents the challenges for the future injectors for proton and uranium production.
