Claim One:
1. A method comprising: processing a shot list, the shot list comprising a plurality of range points for targeting by a scanning ladar transmission system, wherein the scanning ladar transmission system comprises (1) a first mirror that is scannable with respect to a first axis, and (2) a second mirror that is scannable with respect to second axis that is orthogonal to the first axis, wherein the first mirror comprises a spinning polygon mirror; controlling a dynamic scan pattern for the scanning ladar transmission system by scanning the spinning polygon mirror and the second mirror to a plurality of mirror scan positions based on the processed shot list to target the range points of the processed shot list, wherein the combination of the mirror scan positions for the spinning polygon mirror and the second mirror define the range points to which the scanning ladar transmission system is targeted; and transmitting, by the controlled scanning ladar transmission system, a plurality of ladar pulses toward the range points of the processed shot list in accordance with the dynamic scan pattern.
