In some examples, a ground obstacle detection system of an aircraft is configured to generate and display a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a graphical representation of a detected obstacle with which the aircraft may collide during a ground operation and an indication of an area of unknown associated with the detected obstacle. Instead of, in addition to, a GUI that includes an indication of an area of unknown associated with an obstacle, in some examples, a ground obstacle detection system to generate a GUI that includes at least two windows that present different views of an aircraft. At least one of the windows may include a graphical representation of an obstacle that may not be visible in the view of another window.
