Infrastructure less ad-hoc communication networks particularly Flying Ad Hoc Network (FANET) is widely used for establishing communication by military forces while conducting rescue operations in remote areas. The use of infrastructure based communication systems in such complicated situations are often not possible due to loss of service. The transmission mechanism for rescue operations are usually done by hierarchal routing techniques that enable any destination node to communicate either with ground based server or any other node using intermediate relay nodes within the transmission radius. For rescue operations, the concerned rescue team usually coordinates between ground and FANET by using rapidly deployable network. FANET consist of a set of self-configured portable nodes with high degree of mobility. So lack of congestion control, reliability and high energy consumption are the usual shortcomings of these types of networks. To mitigate these problems in this work we propose a novel Minimum Energy Consume Secure Routing Protocol (MECSRP) with the help of which the communication process becomes secure and energy efficient. Our proposed work is broadly divided into three stages. At the first stage we grouped the ad hoc nodes into several clusters on the basis of their respective effective- energy while the second and the third stages are mainly focused to develop a procedure to conserve energy and to establish connection between FANET and master server.
