A laser seeker system is provided. The laser seeker system includes at least a laser pulse receiver circuitry and a pulse evaluator is provided. The pulse evaluator can be configured to obtain a set of measured pulse repetition intervals associated with laser pulses acquired by the laser pulse receiver circuitry. The pulse evaluator can further categorize a current volatility status indicating a respective category of a set of volatility categories, and based on a volatility index indicating a variance of the set of measured PRIs and a volatility counter indicating a number of the acquired laser pulses. The pulse evaluator can further increase a respective category counter that counts occurrences of the respective volatility category. The pulse evaluator can further categorize the authenticity of the laser seeker target based on the set of category counters.
