Zuverlässige FPGA-basierte adaptive Systeme in der Luft- und Raumfahrt

The aim of this project is the investigation and development of an adaptive FPGA-based system for space and avionic applications which allows to exchange modules at run-time. However, SRAM-based FPGAs are highly susceptible to so-called Single Event Effects (SEEs) when operating in such harsh environments. Therefore, we are investigating countermeasures, like scrubbing and triple modular redundancy in order to increase the reliability of such systems.
