Chief Scientist; Modeling, Simulation, Visualization, and Operation Analysis
BAE Systems
Dr. Haynes received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University in 1991. He worked for 6 years as a staff analyst for the Navy at Submarine Development Squadron TWELVE, where he led the sonar and underwater communications modeling and research, developed tactical decision aid software and algorithms, and authored the operational procedures for sonar use and submarine search. In 1997 he joined BAE Systems (then GEC Marconi-Hazeltine) where he served as a principle engineer in communications software and underwater acoustics on projects including design, development, and deployment of a wireless control and data network for a portable redeployable sonar tracking range for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, message processing development for a prototype Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) radio, and command and control systems for submarine-deployable acoustic countermeasures.
In 2001 he became the founding manager of BAE Systems Communications, Navigation, Identification, and Reconnaissance (CNIR) Modeling, Simulation, Visualization, and Analysis (MSVA) Group in Reston, VA. Under his direction in the years since its inception, the MSVA Group has developed a communications and network modeling capability that has secured modeling and simulation contracts under programs including the Automated Digital Network System (ADNS), Warfighter Information Network – Tactical (WIN-T), Future Combat System (FCS), Joint Tactical Radio System Air-Maritime-Fixed Sites (JTRS-AMF) and Common Data Link (JTRS-CDL), and DIA's Sudden Capital. In 2007, Dr. Haynes became the Chief Scientist for Modeling, Simulation, Visualization, and Operation Analysis (MSV&OA) for the BAE SYSTEMS Electronics & Integrated Solutions (E&IS) Operating Group and lead for the E&IS MSV&OA Strategic Initiative.
