there is a time frame - I'm not sure of the exact date - where IRU navigation will become obsolete, and everyone must transition to GPS.
Scarry thought, GNS/gps failures are more common than IRU. I would immagine a single IRU will still be required for a very long time. I believe we will maintain inirtial data (needed anyways for platform) as a backup system for a long time.
