A method of scanning for an object using an adaptive scheduler starts with an electronic circuit (EC) receiving information associated with the object. A task list is then generated by the EC that includes at least one task action based on the information associated with the object. The at least one task action includes a beam firing required for the object to be scanned. The EC may signal based on the task list to a beamer to generate and send a signal to a probe unit to perform the beam firing. A receiver may receive and process a data signal from the probe unit and send the processed data signals to the EC. The EC may then analyze the processed data signal to determine if the object is identified using the processed data signal. Other embodiments are also described.
