What project SS1 buys
This funding line is directly aligned to the U.S. Army Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Modernization Priority. The Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) program is a designated Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP), a critical component of the Army's AMD strategy, and is a top AMD Cross Functional Team modernization priority program. Remote Interceptor Guidance 360 (RIG-360) is a software-defined, X-band missile communications device that provides full hemispherical, 360-degree in-flight communications with IAMD Composite Task Force interceptors including the PATRIOT Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3) family of interceptors. The RIG-360 adds capability to the AIAMD architecture by unlocking the full kinematic potential of the PAC-3 family of interceptors providing full 360-degree coverage against attacking non-ballistic threats. The system expands the Warfighter's area of control and increases AMD effectiveness. RIG's 360-degree engagement capability leverages sensors integrated within the IBCS architecture and integrates an interceptor datalink device as a network component advancing IAMD goals of pairing any sensor with best shooter. The RIG-360 consists of two Major End Items, the Control Assembly and Array Assembly. The Control Assembly, in a rack mounted case, is the control node for the Array Assembly and serves as the Adaptation Kit (A-Kit) to the Integrated Fire Control Network. The rack mounted case provides outer ruggedness to environmental conditions with internal shock isolation, while allowing easy interchange of power supplies, server components, or other components as required within an industry standard rack assembly. The RIG-360 Array Assembly is a mast-mounted, X-band array of antennas that transmit and receive the interceptor radio frequency PAC-3 missile communication waveforms. FY 2027 Funds in the amount of $39.030 million supports completion of RIG 360 development and conduct of IOTE in support of a FY 2027 Milestone C decision.

Project SS1 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 73.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 113.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 39.0 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 16.4 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 0.5 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 0.5 |

2 accomplishments / planned programs
The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. 1 of them describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
Complete development of RIG 360 uplinker for PAC3/MSE interceptors. Receive Qualification Units to support testing. Conduct activities in support of RIG 360 PAC3/MSE Uplinker to include Operational Assessment and Milestone C. Ship initial RIG 360 developmental units to GUAM to support early operational capability.
Read the FY2027 plan →FY2027 planned work Conduct operational testing of RIG 360 for PAC3/MSE Uplinker capability through Integrated Fires Test Campaign
FY2026 to FY2027 change Decrease due to completion of systems development and testing and entering into Initial Operational Testing Evaluation Testing. Funding in this line supports contractor support to testing.
FY2026 plans — current year Conduct developmental testing of RIG 360 of PAC3/MSE Uplinker capability through Integrated Fires Test Campaign (IFTC 26)
FY2025 accomplishments Receive developmental test units and begin initial testing with Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS).
Named performers on project SS1
Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
