Abstract:	Vector integrity monitors are commonly used for online verification of signal quality in safety-critical navigation systems. This paper derives a conservative bound on the missed-detection performance for a vector integrity monitor with a non-Gaussian noise probability density function (PDF). Specifically, the derivation concerns warping an arbitrary non-Gaussian PDF into a spherically symmetric Gaussian, and then approximating the volume of integration as a hypersphere. The end result is a relatively tight bound that is easily and efficiently evaluated using noncentral chi-square distribution functions, which are widely implemented in common numerical packages.
