A team of feral pig hunters are using 科学（工学）技術 to 勝利，勝つ their boar war by sending up remote 支配（する）／統制する airplanes fitted with heat 捜し出すing cameras to guide them に向かって their prey.

The wild beasts are a serious problem in America's 深い south where they 原因（となる） around $1.5bn 価値（がある） of 損失 to 刈るs and 野性生物 every year.

Exterminators at Louisiana Hog 支配（する）／統制する are often 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d with the 仕事 of 跡をつけるing the pigs and 殺人，大当り them before they roam の上に the next farm and wreak more havoc.

They use special aerials and a thermal-imaging camera to spot pigs and report to a man on the ground
The team then shoot the pigs and charge farmers a price per pest

The team use 空中のs to beam pictures 支援する to ground where hunters are waiting for 指示／教授／教育s to shoot

But the animals are 専門家s in going unseen, often （警察の）手入れ，急襲ing 刈る fields in the dead of night.

予定 to their illusive nature Cy Brown and his partner James Palmer at the 追跡（する）ing company have had to take special 対策 to catch up with their prey.

They use a 無線で通信する-controlled airplane equipped with a thermal-imaging camera as a spotter which can then 知らせる a human hunter on the ground.

The method has proven so successful that Brown 見積（る）s his team have killed 概略で 300 wild pigs in the last six months alone.

Brown and his team of night hunters are so in demand that farmers will pay them a price per pig killed

Black heat spots on the map show pigs eating a farmers crops in a field under cover of darkness

The hunters use images like this one to direct their troops towards the unsuspecting prey in the black of night

He said: '明白に it’s not 完全に new 科学（工学）技術, but some of the sensors and 計算するing 力／強力にする has gotten to such a 明言する／公表する to where it’s very 平易な to build these things, have them last a long time and for them to have a little bit of brains'

Now in his third 追跡（する）ing season, Brown's idea stemmed from his love of model 計画（する）s.

The hunter say that using planes has given them the upper hand, allowing them to kill 300 in the last six months

The nocturnal pigs are less cautious at night having getten used to being able to raid farmers' fields

The scene may look like a blood sport, but wild boars can destroy acres of crops in the American south

'The 航空機 is certainly 有能な of going thousands of feet, but 一般に the working 高度 is 400 feet'? Brown, 36, told FoxNews.com.

'And it’s hard to say whether it will be 商売／仕事, but I know people who are making their living doing this.'

The system he uses is far from 軍の grade, in fact, but anyone wishing to recreate his system will have to spend a serious 量.

This control centre allows th e person steering the plane to communicate with other hunters

This 支配（する）／統制する centre 許すs the person steering the 計画（する） to communicate with other hunters

With two screens, the controller is able to see where his plane is headed and what the map below is showing

With two 審査するs, the 監査役 is able to see where his 計画（する） is 長，率いるd and what the 地図／計画する below is showing

His 航空機 is 価値（がある） about $2,000 反して the camera 大（公）使館員d can cost 上向きs of $10,000 and beyond.

He recoups some of that money by 非難する a kill 率 on the 量 of pigs he kills, which is? $25 per pig.

'Whoever’s got the most pigs and the most money, that’s where we’ll be.'
