Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are capable of improving the performance of next generation wireless systems. However, their communication performance is prone to both channel estimation errors and potential eavesdropping. Hence, we investigate the effective network secrecy throughput (ENST) of the uplink UAV network, in which rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) is employed by each legitimate user for secure transmission under the scenario of massive access. To maximize the ENST, the transmission rate versus power allocation relationship is formulated as a max-min optimization problem, relying on realistic imperfect channel state information (CSI) of both the legitimate users and passive eavesdroppers ($Eves$). In the model considered, each user transmits a superposition of two messages to a UAV base-stations (UAV-BS), each having different transmit power and the UAV-BS adopts a successive interference cancellation (SIC) technique to decode the received messages. Given the non-convexity of the problem, it is decoupled into a pair of sub-problems. In particular, we derive a closed form expression for the optimal rate-splitting fraction of each user. Then, given the optimal rate-splitting fraction of each user, the $\epsilon$-constrainted transmit power of each user is calculated by harnessing sequential parametric convex approximation (SPCA) programming. Our simulation results confirm that the scheme conceived significantly improves the ENST compared to both the existing orthogonal and non-orthogonal benchmarks.
