Henry Hargrove is an engineer at RAND. He has demonstrated subject matter expertise in cyber warfare, models and simulation, and human/autonomous behavior modeling in his project portfolio. His professional interests include military and homeland defense operations employing socio-technical systems, intelligent systems, organizational behavior, and predictive frameworks. He has served as the principal investigator and quality reviewer of multiple projects.

Since being at RAND, Hargrove has contributed to HSOAC, Arroyo, PAF, and NSRD projects in some of the following ways: statistical analysis; combat simulation in IWARS, JICM, OneSAF, AFSIM, Netlogo, and Unreal Engine; high performance computing; physics-based performance evaluation; tactics, techniques, and procedures development; major contributor to briefings, software deliverables, and written products. He has given briefings on RAND work and technology trends at military, domestic, and international conferences.

Before joining RAND in 2017, Hargrove served in the US Navy for eleven years. During that time, he completed strategic deterrent patrols onboard an OHIO-class nuclear ballistic missile submarine, served as a Department Head on two VIRGINIA-class fast-attack submarines, and taught nuclear power technology at the Modifications and Additions to a Reactor Facility prototype. During operations critical to national security, he was directly responsible for analyzing real-time intelligence, aggregating historical intelligence and technical reports, and formulating tactical options. He is well versed in the fight against near peer competitors.
