An Inertial Reference System (IRS) determines position by:

Receiving GPS signals

Integrating accelerometer data over time from a known starting position

Correct

Measuring radio signals from ground stations

Using magnetic compass data

Explanation

The IRS uses accelerometers and gyros; position is computed by double integration of sensed accelerations from a known initial position.
