  In Fermilab’s 2022-2023 proton complex run, Fermilab recovered from an unexpected failure in the neutrino focusing horn to achieve a record beam power of 960 kW. For Snowmass and P5, Fermilab recently proposed a new upgrade plan known as Accelerator Complex Evolution (ACE) to occur after PIP-II upgrade in tandem with DUNE/LBNF operation. The first phase of ACE, is the ACE Main Injector Ramp and Targetry upgrade, would raise the LBNF beam power from 1.2 MW to 2 MW by shortening the Main Injector cycle time to around 0.65s. The second phase of ACE, the ACE Booster Replacement, would replace the Booster with a new machine and achieve 2.4 MW for DUNE/LBNF. The core accelerator challenges, present and future, for operating intense neutrino beams at Fermilab will be highlighted.
