A computer implemented system for providing robust communication links to unmanned aerial vehicles is envisaged. It comprises a plurality of nodes which communicate with each other and with an unmanned aerial vehicle to allow exchange of data. A 3D signal coverage model is created which determines signal coverage provided by the plurality of nodes. A navigator present in the system navigates the unmanned aerial vehicle to follow a stored flight path based on this 3D model. Waypoints present in the path of the unmanned aerial vehicle are then identified and suitable waypoints are selected from where sensed pre-stored data is collected. A suitable node is then selected based on the stored 3D signal coverage model, location of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the nodes, and the signal strength of the nodes and the collected data is transmitted to the suitable node through the unmanned aerial vehicle to provide robust communication.
