Ankara – Gamaforce UGM team had succeeded to show their best performance in Ankara, Turki by reaching the 3rd Place in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) International on fixed wing category. The competition was held on July 13-16 2017. This victory was the result of the hardwork which began in March to prepare everything for UAV competition. The preparation time was just as much as student money on end days of every month which means very little preparation time. Rifyal Garda Prambudi as a team leader of Gamaforce UGM expressed that his team also collided with unforeseen obstacles. For example, UAV rudder and some parts were broken when on the flight to Turki, so they got extra work to fix the problems.
The competition consisted of three stages, where the first stage was for the report, second stage was for detailed report and flight video, then the final stage. Gamaforce made it to 8th rank from 97 teams and qualified to the final. Gamaforce was the only indonesian team competing in the final.
