Abstract
The SEU sensitivity of an Artificial Neural Network intended to be use d in space to detect ''protonic whistlers'' is investigated We evaluat e its behaviour in the presence of SEU-like faults for a hardware impl ementation, associating a general purpose microprocessor to a dedicate d neural processor. Experimental results (SEU simulations and heavy io n ground tests) show the robustness of this implementation.
