#DRDO has achieved a major milestone in India’s #hypersonic missile development by successfully conducting an extensive long-duration test of its Actively Cooled Full-Scale #Scramjet Combustor. The test achieved a run-time of over 1,200 seconds at the Scramjet Connect Pipe Test Facility in Hyderabad on May 9, 2026, building on the earlier successful 700-second test conducted in January this year. This marks a major step toward sustained scramjet-powered hypersonic missile propulsion.
We've known that 'over land' testing of the #Scramjet powered HACM was set to occur in Australia when the weapon was ready for flight testing. Looks like its about to kick off.
US conducts, secretive flight testing in Australia of Raytheon’s Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile https://t.co/5IHAj11tnj
-2019: Booster reached space, partial success.
-2020: #Scramjet demo at Mach 6 for 20+ sec.
-2025: Ground tests ran 120 sec (Jan) & >1,000 sec (Apr) - unprecedented duration.
#India’s 2026 test could push toward Mach 12 and long‑range #hypersonic cruise missile parameters.
-#India’s HSTDV (Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle) scramjet-based hypersonic flight tech is getting ready for sustained scramjet flight in 2026
-Aim is to achieve sustained high Mach numbers paving the way for advanced cruise missiles & reusable launch vehicles
-HSTDV uses a solid rocket booster (like modified Agni-1) to reach 30 km+ altitude before scramjet ignition
Key Tests
-12 Jun 2019 Test: Booster reached space but failed to hit the required altitude for scramjet separation, partial objectives met
-7 Sep 2020 Test: Full scramjet demonstration at Mach 6 for over 20 seconds and validated other performance parameters
-Jan & Apr 2025 Ground Tests: Subscale scramjet engines ran for 120 sec (Jan) & >1,000 sec (Apr), advancing toward full-scale flight combustors
-The US, Russia, Australia, Japan, China & Europe have conducted successful scramjet flight tests but no one has achieved 1000 sec sustained duration
-2026 test could focus on Mach 12 & long-range hypersonic cruise missiles parameters
Almost exactly three years ago, the DARPA/USAF #HAWC program crossed its final finish line. The Lockheed vehicle and its Aerojet #scramjet engine nailed their final flight test objective. DARPA tasked two separate teams with maturing two distinct airframe and scramjet engine architectures. In a rare feat for such high-risk technology, both teams emerged with flying colors.
Walter Price, the USAF deputy on the HAWC program, called the effort the "most successful hypersonic air breathing flight test program in 🇺🇸 history."
Launched following the 2013 final flight of the scramjet X-51 Waverider, HAWC achieved its first successful hypersonic flight in 2021. Upon its completion, the USAF rapidly transitioned to the HACM cruise missile (now with Raytheon/Northrop Grumman) program while DARPA pushed further into research with MoHAWC.
The reality of 2026 shows just how much of a marathon this is. While the Army's Dark Eagle is finally hitting operational units, air breathing systems like HACM are still grinding through a tightened flight test schedule expected to begin this year for fielding as early as 2027.

The US Air Force plans to begin flight testing of the #Scramjet powered Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile #HACM this year for a rapid fielding in the second half of next year. Building on the highly successful Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) program that incorporated what Steve Walker (DARPA) called the "3rd generation" scramjet engine, HACM will the first hypersonic weapon the Air Force fields on tactical fighters with USAF F-15E and RAAF F/A-18E/F being threshold platforms.

Official press release of testing actively cooled long duration Scramjet Engine for Hypersonic Missile Programme, the run time was over 12 minutes.
#Scramjet
In a major technological breakthrough; Hyderabad-based DRDL ( a #DRDO lab) has successfully conducted a 12+ minute long-duration ground test of a full-scale, actively cooled #SCRAMJET combustor at its SCPT facility, significantly strengthening India’s #Hypersonic Cruise #Missile programme. The scramjet engine is designed to power hypersonic cruise missiles capable of flying at speeds over five times the speed of sound.
In simple terms #RAMJET engine uses ram effect for compression (using vehicles own speed for first stage compression) - but in this case combustion happens at subsonic speed. Result vehicle speed is supersonic.
In SCRAMJET (Supersonic Combustion RAMJET) the combustion happens at supersonic speeds. The technology gives hypersonic speed to vehicles.
We are one more step closer for our own SCRAMJET engines and hypersonic missiles/vehicles.
To all the scientists and engineers 👏🏽👏🏽

#DRDL successfully conducted an extensive long-duration ground test of its Actively Cooled #Scramjet Full Scale Combustor, achieving a run time of over 12 MINUTES at its state-of-the-art Scramjet Connect Pipe Test (SCPT) Facility on 9 Jan 2026.
The Air Force’s #HACM program, an MTA rapid prototyping effort, is developing a conventional, air-launched hypersonic missile that can be carried by an F-15 tactical aircraft. The missile consists of two stages, a rocket booster and a #scramjet cruiser..The Air Force plans to build 13 missiles during the rapid prototyping effort, including test assets, spares, and rounds for initial operational capability. The Air Force plans to initiate a rapid fielding effort in fiscal year 2027 to field additional missiles and iterate on the missile’s design prior to making a full production decision ~ GAO
