Function:

The pBasicContactMgr application deals with information about other known vehicles in its vicinity. It is not a sensor application, but rather handles incoming "contact reports" which may represent information received by the vehicle over a communications link, or may be the result of on-board sensor processing. By default the pBasicContactMgr posts to the MOOSDB summary reports about known contacts, The contact manager may also may be configured to post alerts, i.e., MOOS variables, with select content about one or more of the contacts. An alert is typically used by the helm to spawn a behavior for a new contact, for collision avoidance for example.
