Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for an airport ground support equipment navigation system. In one embodiment, a computer can be trained to recognize obstacles and navigate ground support equipment along an airport apron, to identify obstacles along a path or route, and to determine how to control the ground support equipment to safely navigate the obstacles to reach its intended target at a designated time. The computer also can provide a graphical user interface to a display. The graphical user interface can include visual indications providing information to a user about an obstacle along a route of the vehicle on the airport apron and how the vehicle may safely continue on along the route while avoiding the obstacle. In some implementations, the computer may autonomously control the vehicle and drivers may override the computer.
