Abstract: As a non-imaging wide-angle Cherenkov air shower detector array with an area of up to 100 km 2 , the HiSCORE (Hundred⁎i Square km Cosmic ORigin Explorer) detector concept allows measurements of gamma rays and cosmic rays in an energy range of 10 TeV up to 1 EeV. In the framework of the Tunka-HiSCORE project we have started measurements with a small prototype array, and planned to build an engineering array (1 km 2 ) on the site of the Tunka experiment in Siberia. The first results and the most important hardware components are presented here.
