A system time thresholds dwells executed by an electromagnetic signal
receiver. The system includes a detection module and a processing module.
The detection module receives electromagnetic signals from a surrounding
environment. The electromagnetic signals are chronologically segregated
into a plurality of dwells each with a dwell time. The processing module
controls the scanning of the surrounding environment. The processing
module sets dwell parameters and determines whether to skip the execution
of particular dwells. The processing module receives data about the
signals from the detection module.
