Wing Commander Chris Mills AM, RAAF (Retd), BSc, MSc(AFIT)




Chris Mills joined the RAAF in 1964 and graduated from the RAAF Academy in 1967.  He has a BSc in physics from Melbourne University and an MSc in Systems from the United States Air Force Institute of Technology.  After a tour in 34 VIP Squadron, he converted to the Mirage and flew over 1,000 hours on that type.  He has flown the F/A-18F Block 1 in a strike configuration.

He worked for three years in the Defence Science and Technology Organisation as an Operations Analyst. As part of the Defence Cooperation Programme, he designed the engineering, maintenance and supply system for the Indonesian Air Force.  While a member of the Reserve, he worked in the Air Power Studies Centre on several subjects including UCAVs and air operations in the 1991 Gulf War. As Deputy Director for Air Control in the Capability Development Division, he developed the Hornet Upgrade (HUG) Phase 2  which was approved by the Defence Committee and is now in the final stages of implementation.


WGCDR Mills was appointed to be a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his contribution to workforce management of the RAAF.


Over the past five years, he has participated in the Defence Reform Program, the Defence Capability Review and has represented the 'Red Forces' within the processes described in the Australian Defence Organisation's Defence Capabilty Development Manual.  This work involved extensive research into the future capabilities of several countries of interest and the weapons and system they may deploy over the next 20 years.

He is currently retired, and is not, and has never been, associated with any weapons systems developer, manufacturer or supplier.  He is a director, shareholder, military analyst and simulation expert in a commercial company that provides  analysis services to industry, generally in the simulation of military engagements in the aerospace and maritime domains.
