REENGINEERING THE PAPARAZZI AUTOPILOT NAVIGATION SYSTEM

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.
