The Antiproton Flux in Space (AFIS) satellite mission aims to measure the flux of antiprotons trapped in Earth's Van Allen radiation belts at energies of 20 to 100 MeV. The mission's central instrument is a charged-particle detector comprised of scintillating-plastic fibers and silicon photomultipliers. We are testing a range of processing approaches and hardware options to filter and analyze the recorded data in real time in order to reduce the amount of data that needs to be sent to ground. In this contribution, we present the technical motivation of these approaches, as well as early test implementations and simulations. Our work is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG, project number 414049180) and under Germany's Excellence Strategy - EXC2094 - 390783311.
