A technical prototype of a tile hadron calorimeter (HCAL) for the International Linear Collider (ILC) detector is currently developed within the EUDET framework package JRA3. The aim of this prototype is to address the mechanical issues imposed by the requirement of high granularity and compactness. Issues like mechanical feasibility and stability, integration of electronics in the active layers, power pulsing, integration of a monitoring system for each calorimeter cell, have to be addressed. The prototype is based on scintillating tiles that are read out by novel silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs). The full prototype will contain about 2500 detector channels (one layer) and takes into account all engineering design aspects that are demanded by the intended operation at the ILC. This report focuses on the status of the three main deliverables of the HCAL work package namely, the availability of the mechanical structure, of the readout electronics for one basic unit and the LED monitoring system to calibrate and monitor the operation of the calorimeter cells inside one basic unit.
