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 #3: Augmented Reality (AR) Training System
Challenge Theme #3 Mission
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.
Challenge Theme #3 Objectives
This challenge requires teams to present a research with the following research questions.
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.
