No, it is an abbreviation.

An acronym is a special kind of abbreviation made from mostly first letters of words and in aword form that can easily be pronounced.

Examples: LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

RADAR stands for RAdio Detection And Ranging. FUBAR is Army talk standing for Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition. Also, SNAFU, standing for Situation Normal, All Fouled Up.
