1. A scanning device comprising:

  • a photonic emitter assembly (PTX) to emit at least one pulse of inspection photons in accordance with at least one adjustable pulse (generation) parameter;

    a photonic reception and detection assembly (PRX) to receive reflected photons reflected back from an object, said PRX including a dynamic detector to detect the reflected photons based on one or more adjustable detector parameter, said detector further configured to and produce a detected scene signal;

    a photonic steering assembly (PSY) functionally associated with both said PTX and said PRX to direct said pulses of inspection photons in a direction of an inspected scene segment and to steer said reflection photons back to said PRX; and

    a closed loop controller to control said PTX, PRX and PSY and to receive a PTX feedback, a PRX feedback and a PSY feedback, said controller further comprising a situational assessment unit to receive said detected scene signal from said detector and produce a scanning plan and update said at least one pulse parameter and at least one detector parameter at least partially based on said scanning plan.
