Scott G. Casper
Group Supervisor, Missions Systems, Cyber Operations Branch
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory


Mr. Casper is a system engineer and group supervisor within the cyber operations branch at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL). He is responsible for leading approximately 50 staff focusing on defensive solutions applied to mission systems and platforms. His background is strongly founded in power system engineering, control systems, complex system design and analysis, and modeling and simulation. He provides thought leadership with a breadth of domain applications spanning the air and missile defensive systems, submarine and undersea warfare systems, and defensive cyber capabilities applied to these domains. He recently was a key thought leader and program manager that built and expanding the JHU/APL contributions to the Navy’s submarine forces cyber defensive programs, emphasizing solutions through requirements leveraging resiliency principles. His past experience as an assessment lead and program manager for undersea warfare assessments has provided key contributions and leadership in building the mission cyber modeling and simulation capabilities at JHU/APL. His background includes extensive modeling and simulation experience applied to study proposals, rigorous operational requirements analysis, acquisition and science and technology design and analysis, model development, model verification and validation efforts, configuration management, and quality assurance tasks. His systems engineer experience focuses on complex system and systems analyses, requirements derivation and verification, and system design. He holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University and a Master’s degree in Applied & Computational Math from The Johns Hopkins University.
