Hmmm....
F-COM says that 3 IRS signals (3 position) come to the FMGS. And then FMGS calculates IRS MIX position. IRS doesn't need satellites. I can understand till here.

But then they talk about GPS position. They say that IRS choses one of the GPS signals which makes it GPIRS!!! Didn't get this one. The IRS choses one of the GPS?? But why? They are 2 different systems to calculate position!

Thanks...
