A predictive semi-active laser (SAL) pulse correlator (112) includes a history buffer (206), a correlation predictor (208), a match identifier (210) and a correlation verifier (212). The history buffer is configured to store an indicator for each of a plurality of received pulses (114). The correlation predictor is configured to initiate a search of the history buffer for a pulse train match for a future interval and to predict correlation for the future interval when the pulse train match is found. The match identifier is configured to search the history buffer for a specified number of pulse matches corresponding to the pulse train match. The correlation verifier is configured to verify correlation by receiving a pulse (114) during the future interval when the correlation predictor predicts correlation for the future interval. |
