It doesn't say. I doubt it; from the description of the unmodified Aerotech motor being about 200 pounds thrust, it's either an L850 or an L952. They only made 3600 feet, and if the bird is draggy enough to slow from Mach 1 to a stop in less than 3600 feet, those engines aren't powerful enough to overcome that drag and get it to Mach 1 in the first place.
