1. A system, comprising:
a radar subsystem having
a transceiver,
an antenna, and
an onboard hardware controller configured
to generate, in response to information related to a mission, a first list of at least one beam each including a respective first waveform and each having a respective first duration related to the mission,
to cause the antenna to transmit, sequentially, the at least one beam of the first list,
to detect an object in response to one of the at least one beam of the first list,
to generate, in response to a command, second list of at least one beam each including a respective second waveform and e having a respective second duration, and
to cause the antenna to transmit, sequentially, the at least one beam of the second list; and
an offboard hardware controller configured
to receive information related to a mission,
to provide the information to the radar subsystem,
to effect the mission in an environment, and
to generate the command in response to the detection of the object.
