Abstract
UAV is advance air vehicles with sensors and software to fly without a human pilot. This is an emerging technology with a tremendous potential to revolutionize warfare and to enable new civilian applications. There is a need to ensure that no malicious entity can disturb the transmission of data during UAV Ad hoc Network (UAANET) communications. Currently, UAV having various vulnerabilities and hacked by a different set of skilled persons. In this paper, we outline security requirements for UAANET along with the existing attacks. Before giving any security solution, we first deeply understand common possible Attacks and their impact on society. We presented UAANET general security limitations and challenges with the existing solutions by Blockchain Technology. The Blockchain technology uses the combination of cryptography, a consensus algorithm, and a distributed ledger to create a decentralized trustworthy platform. In addition, open research issues are also discussed.
