I have confirmed the success of Hycore's first test flight through reliable sources. Of course, Hycore is merely a technology demonstration test vehicle. Through this, ADD plans to acquire key technologies for expanding the operability of wide-range Mach number hypersonic flight vehicles.
According to government-released data, six of the 30 core technology tasks were completed by December 2020, and 11 ongoing tasks were finalized in 2024. The remaining 13 tasks are scheduled for completion by 2029. Development and testing will be finalized by 2030, followed by operational deployment.
