This paper investigates integrating blockchain technology into UAV-aided disaster relief networks (UDRNs). It addresses challenges such as inefficient resource coordination, security vulnerabilities in smart contracts, and transaction malleability. Solutions include coordinated smart contracts for efficient resource allocation, dynamic vulnerability auditing for enhanced security, and augmented forensic systems to ensure transaction integrity. The proposed approach enhances trust, transparency, and effectiveness in disaster relief operations by leveraging UAVs and blockchain.
