Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to an airborne field service management system (FSM) and a method thereof. The FSM comprises airborne vehicles interacting with utility meters and capable of collecting meter readings, connecting/disconnecting the utility meters, determining meter diagnosis, identifying tampering of the utility meters, conducting facility survey/inspection and assistance during disaster management. In one aspect, the utility meters are provided with a retrofittable Smart meter component (SMC) that enables meter reading collection, determines tampering of the utility meter and transmits the tampered status information to the airborne vehicle. The SMC receives a tampering signal from a tampering sensor and disconnect the utility meter. The airborne vehicles transmit the received tampered status information to a centralized field service management system which processes the tampered status information and inform the field service personnel to visit the location and repair the tampered meter.
