GATI Competition Season 1: Aerospace Innovation Challenges

1. Introduction

Gathering to Advance Thai Innovation, or GATI in short, was formed with the commitment to

elevate Thai innovation by gathering and joining forces between talented minds, driven individuals

and institutions across a multitude of disciplines and sectors.

“GATI” is a Thai term meaning coconut cream, which originates from Thai idiom “Hua Gati”.

“Hua Gati” translates to “pure coconut cream”, and by extension, “the cream of the crop” or the

elites and experts.

Season 1 marks the first time a competition has been organized under the GATI initiative, in which

is centred around the theme of Aerospace Innovation Challenges. Brought into fruition by R V

Connex Co., Ltd (RVC), participants gain direct access to one of Thailand’s leading companies

with experience in the field of National Defense Systems, Security, Aviation and the development

of Innovation Solutions. In particular, RVC is passionate in supporting and backing creative ideas

and driven innovators so as to bring their ideas to life, whether it be through funding or knowledge

and experience from industry leading experts in their respective fields.

The competition will be mainly based on Aerospace Innovation Challenges which will focus

particularly on innovation for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology.

Undoubtedly, the demand for UAVs have remarkably expanded over the past few decades, due to

its flexible nature and ability to conduct various types of missions, including wildfire fighting, data

collection, aerial photography, cargo delivery as well as supporting Intelligence, Surveillance,

Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions. Thus, it is crucial to elevate all areas of

relevant knowledge in research and development of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in Thailand.

In addition, Augmented Reality, or “AR” for short, is also becoming a favorable and rapidly

developing technology, which can assist raising efficiency and solving a number of issues in almost

every field. For instance, AR can be used to streamline the Manufacturing Process, or even fields

such as Education, Training, Travel and Tourism. With this in mind, GATI has also realized the

importance of research and development into AR systems, especially with regards to AR systems

that can be used in streamlining UAS training and operation.

Therefore, on behalf of the GATI initiative, we are pleased to announce the start of GATI Season 1

- Aerospace Innovation Challenges, in response to global trends of using UAS to perform valuable

missions, and the future of using AR systems for training and operation purposes. In turn, we hope

to raise the potential of Unmanned Aerial Systems and AR technology in Thailand. GATI believes

that having our own understanding and capability in such technologies will allow Thailand to

promote self-reliance, stimulate the economy and become a regional leader in aerospace innovation.

Challenge Theme #1: Unmanned Aircraft System Grade Engine

Challenge Theme #1 Mission

It is RVC’s hope that a UAV engine can be designed and built in Thailand in order to showcase as

well as further existing Thai capabilities and potential. It could help minimize the need to import

parts from overseas as well as stimulate income generation in our economy. Due to the relatively

high manufacturing capabilities in Thailand which are in alignment with international standards,

this can lead to a successful production of UAV grade engines.

The aforementioned engine will be used in a UAV application to perform different kinds of missions

such as wildfire fighting, data collection aerial photography, cargo delivering as well as supporting

Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions. RVC

expects this research to be the initiation for further research and development to be able to release

Challenge Theme #3: Augmented Reality (AR) Training System


Augmented Reality is an attractive technology that has benefits in various businesses, such as in

retail businesses that allow people to experience virtual products through online shopping. For

example, people can choose the right size by using a virtual fitting room or choosing a color for

furniture that matches your house. Moreover, AR systems are useful for manufacturing process,

education, training as well as Travel and Tourism, among others. An example of an AR system

consists of Snapchat lenses and the game Pokemon Go.

RVC expects to create an innovation based on AR systems. We are aiming to use AR systems to

assist in any operation and maintenance training for UAV application. With an AR training system,

this would help to significantly reduce the duration of the maintenance program, reduce pressure

and stress while working, improve technician performance and ensure technicians to follow

instructed procedure to comply with standard. The system can be freely designed or integrated in

order to present and display operation and maintenance procedures for any scenario within an

augmented reality environment. Teams are encouraged to design any feature that could be beneficial

to operation and training application. However, team should consider possibility and technology

readiness. RVC expects this research to be the initiation for further research and development which

could be applied to UAV operation and maintenance training.



1. Which AR system design is the most suitable for operation and maintenance training?

2. What hardware and software are used in the proposed AR training system?

3. What manufacturing processes are the most suitable for the proposed AR training system

design?

AR Training System Requirements

1. To design an AR system and manufacturing process for operation and maintenance training.

2. AR training system shall be able to give instruction, maintenance procedures, warning and

groups of knowledge for technician in operation and training process by visually projecting the

action that must be performed on the object and optional audio for instruction.

3. AR platform shall be able recognize objects at a specific location with variation of object

translation, rotation, scale, viewing direction and lightning condition.

4. AR training system shall be able to match reference objects with the algorithm in the camera.

5. AR platform can be freely designed; no restriction in mobile, glasses or other platform.

However, team need to evaluate which platform is the most suitable for operation and

maintenance training.

Page 20 of 23

Table 1 shows an example of AR scenario to guild teams in designing in order to meet the expected

result. Teams are encouraged to create other AR scenarios; slightly complex of scenario will be

advantage. Teams are also encouraged to include additional features from teams’ idea in the system.

Other AR scenario example: watch repair training, motorbike operation or maintenance, etc.
