Over the past three years, the Paparazzi project has created a free micro air vehicle system. Emerging uses of unmanned air vehicles has entailed new interactions to control the flight. The project has now reached a milestone and requires a reengineering of the navigation kernel interface. After describing the current architecture of our system, we analyze the new needs arising from human machine interaction and flight management system. We then propose a layered design of the navigation functional core.
