    Abstract

    Unmanned aerial vehicles have been used in various fields in addition to their first military purposes, and in most cases, several UAVs should work together to perform the task. For this, each UAV belongs to a network and exchanges data with each other. However, malicious nodes can often break into the network and attempt to intercept or change the exchanged data, which can adversely affect UAV performance. In this paper, we propose a methodology in which UAVs exchange data through blockchain-based validation and consensus to prevent the invasion of these malicious nodes and enable safer and more stable data exchange.
