I think hypersonic engine will have lower ISP compared to supersonic engine.

How much "bulk" would that result in over and above the present BrahMos (though the higher the ISP of the liquid fuel ramjet, the lesser would be the increase in the "bulk")? While this would be dependent upon the flight path/profile, what in your estimation would be the upper and lower bounds in terms of the CM's trajectory during which the scramjet would be deployed?
