Wouldn't be an Peregine / Cuda AAM mounted on a ESSM make the perfect "AMRAAM / ESSM ER"? Yes smaller seeker and warhead but from a weight and size point of view possible to do. Longer range would be possible to achieve If the ESSM as booster give "normal" aircraft launch conditions (height and speed) so it can get to the 180km but even 120km would be more than enough (for me atleast)
