  DARTWARS (Detector Array Readout with Traveling Wave AmplifieRS) is a three
years project that aims to develop high-performing innovative Traveling Wave
Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs) for low temperature detectors and qubit readout
(C-band). The practical development follows two different promising approaches,
one based on the Josephson junctions (TWJPA) and the other one based on the
kinetic inductance of a high-resistivity superconductor (KITWPA). This paper
presents the advancements made by the DARTWARS collaboration to produce a first
working prototype of a KITWPA.
