A reasonable question, but I don't think so.

We played with salvo missiles "out of the box" before we decided that
we didn't like them.

We did not apply our ECM or Stealth rules when we tried the Fighter
Beta rules.

Our Stealth and ECM effects on range bands we worked out vs. beams,
PTs, and K-guns similar to what is on the W&DA, just that we called the
"basic FB rules" to be level 2 for everything, rather than level 0 as
W&DA.  For SMs, we give them +'s (and -'s) to the missile's TH roll in
the SM system that we use.  I am not sure what would be a good way to
have them affect RAW SMs.
