Um... no it isn't.  The direct fire attack rules give you an attack die 
based on FCS vs the targets aspect.  The missile attack rules give you
an 
attack die based on the missiles targeting system, but the defender gets
an 
explicit ECM roll *AND* a PDS roll *if* it has PDS.  Even with PDS
systems, 
you do NOT get the second die vs MDC/HKP/HVC/SLAM attacks.
