I don't think so. I've been hearing about ALRAAM for about 10 years off
and 
on. Mostly off :o) There seems to be a real scizophrenia about long
range air 
intercept missiles :o)

My first base was Eglin (Weapons) test side, which is where I first
heard of 
it. About the same time somone decided to call the AIM-7 replacment the 
"AMRAAM."

(Ouch, that's dateing myself :o)
