For other folks that included myself, the M60A1 RISE was an engine improvement program similar to the current M1A1 TIGER engine improvement program. The PASSIVE part of the M60A1 RISE/PASSIVE added a "STARLIGHT" targeting system.

I'll second Don on this.
From my own research while revising the USMC OOB I found the difference between the M60A1 RISE (1979) and the M60A1 RISE/Passive (ca. 1983) to be negligible in WinSPMBT terms. What I called the M60A1 RISE/ERA in my OOB revision (ca. 1988) is the upgrade to the M60A1 RISE due to the addition of the ERA system.
Not that Don needs me to second him
But I've found a second opinion does help verify what we already know.
