We present a real-time semantic navigation frame-work for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) focused on improving time efficiency in the Object Goal Navigation (ObjectNav) task. Central to our approach is a Large Language Model (LLM) that interprets user-provided natural language instructions and performs semantic reasoning over detected objects and spatial context to prioritize high-probability search regions. The system combines real-time object detection, 3D spatial mapping, and polynomial spline interpolation for smooth and feasible UAV trajectory planning. Unlike prior methods that rely on offline reasoning or simulator-constrained action spaces, our framework can operate in real time, continuously updating semantic relevance based on new observations. Experiments in both simulated and real-world settings demonstrate reductions in mission duration while maintaining high search accuracy, underscoring the effectiveness of LLM-guided reasoning for time-efficient UAV-based ObjectNav.
