Hi!
This unmanned aerial vehicle is an all-wing unmanned experimental aircraft that was demonstrated in in-house research (2016~2020) at Kawasaki Heavy Industries Aerospace Company. With the aim of establishing autonomous flight control technology for flying wings, which are very difficult to fly compared to ordinary airplanes, Kawasaki designed and manufactured a combination of the latest design technologies, and succeeded in a demonstration experiment of fully automatic flight including takeoff and landing. The results of this research will be used for the development of domestic unmanned aerial vehicles in the future.

モデルは分かりませんが、間違いなくジェットキャットです。

Flight Control Design and Flight Demonstration of Flying Wing Unmanned Aircraft
According to the literature for this symposium,
it is a 20% sub-scale aircraft.
It uses the P300-RX with a thrust of 300N.
At full scale, supersonic flight is being considered.
However, the Mach number is not stated.
