WMS (Web Map Service) is an OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standard which is widely supported:
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms
WMS layers can be added into LP360 for ArcGIS, LP360, Mission Planner, LIDAR Server and Reckon. LP360 for ArcGIS, LP360 and Mission Planner all display WMS data as a layer. These different programs provide users the ability to display WMS data in a client application. LIDAR Server and Reckon both consume and produce WMS data, for instance a base map layer.
Client applications such as LP360 for ArcGIS, LP360 and Mission Planner can therefore display data from Reckon, LIDAR server as well as any base map which supports WMS. There are some base maps that are published using WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) which LP360 does not support so it is important to keep in mind the difference between the two.
