INS vs IRS

Hi folks,

This is probably an old question, but what is the main difference between INS and IRS?

INS= older less complex basic accellerometer/gyro nav system
IRS= more modern ring laser gyro system incorporating various other nav inputs.

Just need to know if I'm on the right track here (pardon the punn)

Cheers

JK
