The Supersonic Turbine Engine for Long Range (STELR) demonstration will provide the foundation for a revolutionary increase in capability for cruise missile weapon systems. The purpose of this program is to bring critical key technologies to a readiness level sufficient for transition to a new cruise missile. The planned engine demonstrations, under contract as of December 2011, will take about 34 months to complete in two phases. Phase 1 will be an evaluation of the design and assessment of new and existing hardware to meet the STELR objectives. Phase 2 will consist of two major tests to demonstrate durability, operability, and performance characteristics of the engine technologies, anticipated to be conducted in 2013. The STELR program will allow for technology options for a Long Range Stand-off Missile.

Any idea what (if any) relation this has to the YJ102 of RATTLRS?

The Supersonic Turbine Engine for Long Range (STELR) successfully completed 57 minutes of a durability engine testing at Mach 2.7.
The objective of the STELR project is to demonstrate robust, supersonic expendable turbine engine technologies.
Engines using these technologies could be used for long-range supersonic cruise missiles or be the basis for future reusable
boosters for reusable hypersonic vehicles in a Turbine-Based Combined Cycle propulsion system.
