Abstract
Ground level cosmic ray enhancements (GLEs) are the manifestations of short-time solar energetic particles radiation near the Earth causing damage to electronic devices carried on board the satellite platforms. A test alert system based on a real-time ground-level neutron monitor network is proposed in order to protect devices and electronics from space weather radiation effects.
