The JCO ordinarily leads these SACTs from the Americas cell, made up in total of the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and Chile, here in Colorado Springs. The August SACT included participation by not only the U.K., but also from numerous international teams including Australian (AUS) Defense Space, Canadian Defense Research and Development Canada (DRDC), AUS Responsive Space Operations Center (RSOC), AUS Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), Chile Air Force (FACh), and others. Teams experience routine and adversary threat engagement simulations such as Search and Recovery (SAR) Closely Spaced Object (CSO) discrimination satellite characterization high-cadence surveillance conjunction assessment and Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) analysis, all while continuously executing real-world events.Ĭurrent SACTs involve participants from all over the world comprising of over 70 commercial companies, universities, and military organizations, demonstrating the exponential growth in participation in just a few years.

The SACT series runs for an entire week and includes two, 24-hour operations cycles, during which time, participants are faced with an aggressive series of space operations desired learning objectives (DLOs) using end-to-end operational systems. The SACT series is used as a technical assessment of capabilities for burgeoning commercial providers looking to demonstrate their capabilities, such as how well they can track satellites or perform maneuver detection and threat assessments. These events began in 2019 involving just a handful of commercial partners with the goal of leveraging commercial technologies in supporting international space domain awareness efforts. Throughout the event series, space operators leverage ideas to innovate current capabilities and simultaneously test developmental capabilities to decide how they might be incorporated into mission needs, ultimately driving innovation in space enterprise execution. The JCO, operating at the non-classified level, allows acceleration of integration at commercial speeds, ultimately raising the state-of-the-art capabilities in space domain awareness. SACTs were created to provide a venue for rapid innovation and improvement to current space operations and provide commercial vendors with an accessible entry point, supporting both commercial and military space integration efforts. The SACT event series is a tri-annual live-virtual experiment and exercise series that provides opportunities for commercial vendors of space data and analytics capabilities to explore integration of their products in a realistic space operations environment. The 118-unit assisted living and memory care property is being constructed on 26 acres previously owned by the Wedgewood Golf Club, and could be joined in the future by active adult apartments, independent living apartments and villas.Following two weeks of training with the Joint Task Force-Space Defense Commercial Operations Cell (JCO), the United Kingdom successfully led its first Sprint Advanced Concept Training (SACT) Meridian cell shift out of High Wycombe, England, Aug. While ALG Senior’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in the Northeast, Meridian has maintained a nationwide footprint.Īmong the communities slated to join Meridian’s portfolio is Worthington Manor, under development in Conroe, Texas.

About 40% of the portfolio remained under the Meridian banner, while about 60% of the portfolio became Affinity Living Group, which has since rebranded as ALG Senior. Meridian was founded in 2010 six years later, the company split up into two entities. Kusserow said that Amedisys’ acquisition of Contessa Health - which provides hospital-at-home and skilled nursing-at-home services - should help further build its hospice business. “We went out about two years ago and started buying up hospices, going from the eighth-largest to the third-largest hospice and spending about $700 million to build up our presence.”

“We feel good about what we’ve done in hospice,” said Amedisys CEO Paul Kusserow.
