Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have exploded in every segment present in todays business industry. They have scope in reinventing old businesses, and they are even developing new opportunities for various brands and franchisors. UAVs are used in the supply chain, maintaining surveillance and serving as mobile hotspots. Although UAVs have potential applications, they bring several societal concerns and challenges that need addressing in public safety, privacy, and cyber security. UAVs are prone to various cyber-attacks and vulnerabilities; they can also be hacked and misused by malicious entities resulting in cyber-crime. The adversaries can exploit these vulnerabilities, leading to data loss, property, and destruction of life. One can partially detect the attacks like false information dissemination, jamming, gray hole, blackhole, and GPS spoofing by monitoring the UAV behavior, but it may not resolve privacy issues. This paper presents secure communication between UAVs using blockchain technology. Our approach involves building smart contracts and making a secure and reliable UAV adhoc network. This network will be resilient to various network attacks and is secure against malicious intrusions.
