Abstract: Public Announcement drones have gained significant attention in recent years due to their wide range of applications in various fields including security, agriculture, disaster management etc. The Public Announcement (PA) Project is an innovative initiative designed to use drone technology to broadcast public messages, alerts, and announcements in various urban and rural settings. This project explores the development of an Aerial Public Announcement Drone (APAD) designed to deliver live announcements in real-time using a walkie-talkie communication system. The project aims to create a reliable and cost-effective UAV-based solution for emergency communication, capable of broadcasting critical information to large crowds or remote areas during crises such as natural disasters, evacuations, or large public events. The Public Announcement (PA) Drone Project use of drones equipped with advanced audio systems to enhance public communication, including outdoor events, urban areas, and emergency situations. The Aerial Public Announcement Drone (APAD) integrates unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology with real-time voice broadcasting capabilities, providing a mobile and efficient public address system. This drone system is designed to broadcast live messages across large areas, particularly where traditional infrastructure is lacking or ineffective. APAD finds application in emergency management, public safety, large-scale events, and rural outreach. The APAD system comprises a lightweight quadcopter drone equipped with a high-decibel loudspeaker, a real-time wireless communication module, an onboard flight controller, and a ground control for flight and audio management. The design emphasizes modularity, portability, and efficiency while maintaining a cost-effective architecture suitable for deployment in both urban and remote environments. The APAD system aims to enhance situational awareness, streamline information dissemination, and improve public engagement in critical and time-sensitive situations. The findings confirm that the APAD is an effective tool for real-time public announcements during emergencies. The use of a walkie-talkie-based communication system provides a cost-effective and flexible means of broadcasting critical information, enhancing the overall response during urgent situations. This project highlights the potential of UAVs to improve public safety and emergency communication efforts by integrating live communication capabilities in areas where traditional methods are limited.
