Abstract
A system includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The processor executes computer-executable instructions stored in the memory to operate the controller. The instructions cause the controller to determine at least two beam patterns for separate scanning receive beams that operate within a field of regard to be scanned by a Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR). The instructions cause the controller to generate beam pattern commands to form the separate scanning receive beams based on the determined beam patterns, the beam pattern commands specify an azimuth beamwidth and a pointing direction for each of the separate scanning receive beams that operate within each portion of the field of regard.
