This paper proposes to leverage the bounding sharpness of the Cauchy distribution in the core and the Gaussian distribution in the tails to tightly bound heavy-tailedglobal navigation satellite system measurement errors. We develop a procedure to determine the overbounding parameters for both symmetric unimodal (SU)and non-symmetric unimodal (NSU) heavy-tailed errors and prove that the over-bounding property is preserved through convolution. Experiment results on both simulated and real-world data sets reveal that our method can sharply boundheavy-tailed errors in both the core and tail regions. In the position domain, the proposed method reduces the average vertical protection level by 15% for SU heavy-tailed errors compared with the single-cumulative-density-function Gaussian overbound and by 21%-47% for NSU heavy-tailed errors compared with the navigation discrete envelope and two-step Gaussian overbounds.
