Intelligent sensor and intelligent feedback-based dynamic control of a parameter of a field of regard to which the sensor is directed

A method, comprising:

• receiving, with an offboard hardware controller, information related to a mission;
• generating, with an onboard hardware controller in response to the information, a first list of at least one beam each including a respective first waveform and each having an associated first duration related to the mission;
• effecting, with the offboard hardware controller, the mission in an environment by
• transmitting, sequentially, each of the at least one beam of the first list for the associated first duration;
• detecting, with the onboard hardware controller, an object in response to one of the at least one beam of the first list;
• generating, with the offboard hardware controller, a command in response to detecting the object;
• generating, with the onboard hardware controller in response to the command, a second list of at least one beam each including a respective second waveform and each having an associated second duration, and
• transmitting, sequentially, each of the at least one beam of the second list for the associated second duration.
