A method and system, which may be implemented in some embodiments as a video game, for identifying harmful airborne biota, particularly flying insects, and either killing or disabling the harmful airborne biota is disclosed. Lasers, radar, and other types of radiation may be used to illuminate objects in a detection region, with radiation returns detected and applied to a pattern classifier to determine whether the detected airborne biota are harmful, benign or beneficial. Tracking and classification information may be provided to a remotely located game participant who may be permitted to control measures taken to eliminate the harmful airborne biota, these measures including firing pulses of beamed energy or radiation of a sufficient intensity to at least incapacitate them, or mechanical measures such as flying a remotely-controlled miniature unmanned aircraft to engage and kill the pests.

Having thus described our invention and the manner of its use, it should be apparent from our disclosure to one skilled in the arts to which the subject application pertains that incidental changes may be made thereto that fairly fall within the scope of the following appended claims, wherein we claim: 1. A system for disabling or killing a pest insect comprising: a pest insect detection system positioned to detect said pest insect and develop target information related to said pest insect, a communications interface that receives said developed target information related to said pest insect and that transmits said developed target information to a computer where said developed target information is displayed, at least one human-operable interface coupled to said computer for allowing a human to generate control signals responsive to displayed said developed target information, a pest insect disabling or killing system responsive to said control signals received via said communications interface. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein said control signals comprise pointing and firing commands. 3. The system of claim 2 wherein said pest insect disabling or killing system further comprises a laser responsive to said control signals. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein said control signals comprise flight control commands and said pest insect disabling or killing system is a radio-controlled aircraft responsive to said flight control commands. 5. The system of claim 4 wherein said developed target information includes live video developed by a video camera mounted to said radio-controlled aircraft and transmitted to said computer over a communications link for display to a human who enters said flight control commands to direct said remote-controlled aircraft toward said pest insect responsive to said live video. 6. The system of claim 4 wherein said radio-controlled aircraft is equipped with any of: a projectile throwing device, a laser, a pesticide sprayer. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein said developed target information includes any of: range, position, radar cross section, amplitude of reflected signal, wing beat frequency, intensity ratio of selected spectral lines, bands, or frequencies, respiration rate, Doppler induced frequency shift, polarization ratio. 8. The system of claim 1 wherein said pest insect detection system further comprises: at least one energy beam transmitter, a receiver of a return signal from a reflected said energy beam, and wherein said receiver of a return signal is any of: a radar receiver, a laser receiver, any other optical sensor. 9. The system of claim 1 wherein said developed target information is integrated into video game software within said computer, and said video game software develops said control signals responsive to a human playing said video game software. 10. The system of claim 1 wherein said pest insect detection system further comprises any of: a software program for specifically discriminating between a pest insect and non-pest insects and animals, a disablement interface to said pest insect disabling or killing system to prevent said disabling or killing of said non-pest insects and animals, and, logging software for logging selected parameters of said developed target information. 11. The system of claim 1 wherein said computer is located proximate a location where said pest insect disabling or killing system is located. 12. The system of claim 1 wherein said computer is located remotely from a location of said pest insect disabling or killing system, with said developed target information and control signals transmitted to and from, respectively, said computer via the Internet or another telecommunications media. 13. The system of claim 1 wherein said pest insect disabling or killing system is any of: a laser, a high power microwave weapon, a remotely controlled aircraft, an autonomously piloted unmanned aircraft. 14. A system for disabling or killing at least one pest insect comprising: at least one energy transmitter positioned to emit detection energy into a region where said pest insect is detected, at least one receiver of said detection energy reflected from said pest insect, at least one processor responsive to said receiver of said detection energy for processing at least a portion of said detection energy reflected from said pest insect to develop information related to said pest insect, a communications interface coupled to said at least one processor for transmitting said information related to said pest insect to a remotely located human-controlled computer for display to a human operator, and for receiving control commands from said human-controlled computer, a pest insect disabling or killing system responsive to said control commands from said human-controlled computer. 15. The system of claim 14 wherein said information related to said pest insect and said control commands are integrated into a video game played by the human operator. 16. The system of claim 14 wherein said information related to said pest insect includes any of: range, position, radar cross section, amplitude of reflected signal, wing beat frequency, intensity ratio of selected spectral lines, bands or frequencies, respiration rate, Doppler induced frequency shift, Polarization ratio. 17. A system for disabling or killing at least one pest insect comprising: at least one receiver of energy emitted or scattered from said pest insect, at least one processor for extracting information related to said pest insect from said energy emitted or scattered from said pest insect, a communications interface coupled to said at least one processor for transmitting extracted said information to a computer for generation of a display to a human operator, said communications interface further configured for receiving control commands generated by said computer responsive to a human operating computer controls in response to watching said display, a pest insect disabling or killing system coupled to said communications interface and responsive to said control commands for disabling or killing said pest insect. 18. The system of claim 17 wherein said pest insect disabling or killing system is any of: a laser, a high power microwave weapon, a radio-controlled aircraft, an autonomously piloted unmanned air vehicle.
