The present invention relates to an
inertial reference unit (URI), comprising: a first measurement channel (V1), comprising: a first high-performance
inertial measurement unit (UMI1), comprising a first measurement unit for measuring
specific force and a first measurement unit for measuring
angular velocity, a first calculation unit (CPU1), which can calculate pure inertial data based on the measurement values of the first measurement unit; a second measurement channel (V2), comprising: a second
inertial measurement unit (UMI2), which has a lower performance than the first
inertial measurement unit (UMI1), comprising a second measurement unit for measuring
specific force unit and a second measuring unit for measuring
angular velocity; a second calculation unit (CPU2), which is capable of calculating pure inertial data based on the measurement values of the second measuring unit; an
integrity check function (CTR), which is capable of implementing a method for checking the integrity of the data of the first measurement channel (V1) based on the data provided by the second measurement channel (V2); a synchronization unit, which is used to synchronize the measurement values of the first inertial measurement unit and the measurement values of the second inertial measurement unit; the first inertial measurement unit and the second inertial measurement unit are mechanically fixedly installed in the
inertial reference unit (URI).
