X2 UAS, which are no longer in production and have been replaced by the Skydio

X10 platform. In addition, portions of the current X2 training fleet are no longer flight worthy, and some existing batteries are unserviceable.

c. This purchase is required to replace aging and unserviceable training equipment and to ensure the training fleet reflects the current UAS platform being used by USACE personnel in the field.
