The Millennium Bug system comprises of one or more lighter-than-air vehicles which are unique. These vehicles are airships in the sense of powered controlled flight using helium as the lifting medium; however there is little else in common with conventional airships.

These can take the form of many different shapes e.g. a drinks can, team mascot, rugby ball etc. This provides a completely unique public visual display, which can be further enhanced with multiple vehicles.

The airship consists of an envelope. Enclosed within the fabric is a vectored thrust propulsion system made using light-weight composite foam sandwich construction. The vectored thrust system is controlled by an onboard flight control system which manages the overall stability of the airship and flight controls, as well as the telemetry downlink to the ground control systems.
