Electrically neutral body contouring antenna system

An antenna system, comprising:

• a base structure;
• a multiplicity of vertebrae arranged in a stack to define a spine;
• the spine having an elongated length extending from a base end closer to the base structure to a tip end distal from the base structure;
• a compression applicator which is configured to apply a compression force on the spine in a direction along the elongated length from the tip end to the base end;
• each vertebra including a superior face and an inferior face which are respectively disposed on opposing ends of a vertebra body defining a vertebra axis;
• and
• the inferior face of each vertebra having an inferior face profile which is shaped to receive the superior face of an adjacent one of the vertebra when the multiplicity of vertebrae are arranged in the stack;
• wherein the superior face and the inferior face define a vertebra interface which is configured to facilitate a variable deviation in angular alignment of the vertebra axis of each vertebra relative to an adjacent one of the vertebra in the stack when the spine is subjected to a deflecting force.
