The SEU sensitivity of an Artificial Neural Network intended to be used in space to detect “protonic whistlers” is investigated. We evaluate its behaviour in the presence of SEU-like faults for a hardware implementation, associating a general purpose microprocessor to a dedicated neural processor. Experimental results (SEU simulations and heavy ion ground tests) show the robustness of this implementation
