On the KC-135, it is dependent upon the stage of avionics upgrade the acft is currently at. older model KC-135's have only one INU, coupled with one EGI, or embedded gps/inu. newer model 135's (avionics wise) have two EGI's. the egi's are somewhat similar to older style inu's but there are quite a lot of differences. two many to get into detail here.

It depends on the aircraft, but at least two.
