About Us

Company History

MIL-Systems was founded in 1987 by Geoff Lowe BEng (Elec) to provide system engineering and product design services to the Australian defence industry.

MIL-Systems was located in West Footscray, 5km from the centre of Melbourne. MIL-Systems’ office and laboratory accommodated an experienced staff of 15 engineers, technicians and assemblers.

MIL-Systems’ quality system was set up to meet the requirements for military projects ensuring it is robust and provides benefits to all industries. The Army, AWADI, Raytheon and British Aerospace have assisted this process and inspected MIL-Systems to “meet the purposes and intent of MIL-STD-973 Configuration Management”. In addition to MIL-STD-973, MIL Systems has adopted many elements of the ISO 9001 quality system.
