Abstract
The Canadian Hydrogen Observatory and Radio-transient Detector (CHORD) is a new drift-scan radio interferometer operating from 300-1500 MHz, optimized for 21cm intensity mapping, 21cm galaxy detection, pulsars, and transient detection and localization. The full instrument will feature a core array of 512 six-meter dishes, plus two 64-dish outriggers at several thousand kilometer baselines. The project is nearing completion of the first 64-dish sub array, which will enable commissioning activities to begin in parallel with the remaining construction. In this presentation, we discuss the project management framework that has enabled us to navigate the logistical challenges of a fixed-budget, fixed-timeline research infrastructure project through a period of significant global economic and technological volatility.
