ONERA Lea - scramjet powered hypersonic vehicle

From 2006 Annual report:

Onera is working on the definition of an aircraft
capable of reaching a speed of Mach 8 in the
atmosphere. This type of hypersonic vehicle
could be used for a number of applications:
fast strike missile, space launch, highspeed,
long-range observation drone, etc.
To validate its numerical modeling and
various technologies (aerodynamics,
propulsion, materials, thermal
design, etc.), our teams are working
on a demonstrator dubbed Lea,
which should start test flights in 2011.

Mock up/model of the French ONERA developed LEA experimental vehicle to test/validate technology for the ASN4G missile, the future replacement for the ASMP-A, target is Mach 6. Flight test later this year is planned.
(This is not V-MAX related)

I wonder is this is still LEA or something close to ASN4G ...
