A modular unmanned aerial system (UAS) can be configured to detect an anomalous UAS configuration or operating condition, and to notify the user or inhibit further operation of the UAS in response to such a detection. An indication of the actual rotational speed of the motor or of the flight power needed to hold the UAS in a hover state may be compared to a predicted value based upon the expected UAS configuration. A variance between the actual values and the predicted values may indicate that the UAS is in an unauthorized configuration, which may be due to an unauthorized payload. The UAS may be a modular system, and may take into account authorized and attached modules in predicting the thrust required to hold the UAS in a hover state.
