Claim 9:
10. The system of claim 8, wherein:
the transmitter-receiver assembly is configured to scan the lidar search signal over a plurality of additional search directions and receive a corresponding plurality of additional search return signals produced by reflection of the lidar search signal from the target, wherein, at the estimated range of the target, an angular field of illumination of the lidar search signal associated with each additional search direction overlaps at least partly with an angular field of illumination of the lidar search signal associated with the search direction; and
the control and processing unit is configured to refine, from the plurality of additional search return signals, the estimated angular location of the target and control the transmitter-receiver assembly to adjust the imaging direction of the SA transmission signal based on the refined estimated angular location of the target.
