First pic is very interesting but I doubt the front would be hybrid of aim-120 since the EESM is the same length of the aim-120 so why bother changing it. The second pic I think is much closer to reality.

At one point there was talk of a JDRADM (Joint Dual Role Air Dominance Missile) that could hit aircraft or SAM radars. I wonder if this will do that.

Well it is a little wider than the Aim-120 but could still fit 6 inside F-35 so it is possible but the HARM replacement is already is testing phase.
