Methods and systems for estimating and correcting airborne radar antenna pointing errors. The methods and systems include predicting expected received power from at least one scattering source using terrain elevation information, transmitting a radar signal to the at least one scattering source, measuring received power from the at least one scattering source, determining an antenna pointing error based on the predicted and measured received power, and adjusting an antenna angle, an input value, or other components based on the determined antenna pointing error. The methods and systems also include a radar processing and control unit for predicting expected received power from at least one scattering source using a model of the radar power measurement process that includes terrain elevation information, for measuring received power from the at least one scattering source, and for determining antenna pointing error based on the predicted and measured received power.
