                      using airborne platforms is an important contribution to
                      understanding our environment. The deployment of remote
                      sensing instruments on aircraft or balloons requires
                      powerful computer systems for data acquisition and
                      instrument control. The ongoing trend towards further
                      miniaturisation of instruments, with increasingly complex
                      measurement tasks and higher data rates for use over longer
                      flight durations, requires a new generation of control and
                      processing units. These units must be significantly reduced
                      in mass, volume and power consumption. In addition, a shift
                      in data management from storage and post-processing to
                      real-time data processing is required to reduce the
                      increasing amounts of data and to transmit them to ground
                      stations.Based on years of experience with the GLORIA
                      (Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the
                      Atmosphere) instrument and its current miniaturised version,
                      GLORIA-Lite, a modular and reconfigurable data acquisition
                      and processing platform has been developed. This platform is
                      specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of
                      future long-duration flights in harsh environments, with
                      significant optimisations in weight, volume and power
                      consumption. Using state-of-the-art multi-processor
                      system-on-chip (MPSoC) modules, the platform enables
                      real-time data processing while significantly reducing the
                      need for data storage or transmission. Redundancy in
                      hardware and software using the multiple processor cores,
                      together with a supervisor circuit, makes the platform ready
                      for harsh environments. Thanks to its compact form factor,
                      the ruggedised and fully reprogrammable hardware is
                      adaptable to a wide range of applications, further enhancing
                      its versatility and potential for use in various scientific
                      and technological missions.This presentation will show the
                      prototype of the new processing platform, which will be used
                      together with the GLORIA-Lite instrument during an upcoming
                      balloon campaign. First processing steps and performance
                      analysis will be presented.},
