Description
Abstract:
In July 2010, THALES Electron Devices (now THALES Avionics France SAS) in consortium with Research Instrument has be awarded by CNRS/IN2P3 for the mass production of 670 RF couplers at 1.3GHz for the EU-XFEL project in Hamburg. This positive outcome has been the result of a long journey started in 2004 by several steps of consultation and discussions between the laboratories acting as design authorities / in-kind contributors to the project and the Industry.
Provocative topic:
In this talk, we will summarize the pre-tendering discussions and the aborted industrialization phase seen from THALES stand point and the consequences during project successful execution from 2010 till 2015.
