The radar and weapon control systems are "locked on" to from the aircraft's perspective - I don't really understand what you're talking about...

A particular target has been identified, it is being tracked (maybe at the expense of scanning for other targets if its an older system, probably with track-while-scan otherwise), and based on this updates are being sent to the missile in order to control its initial trajectory when it gets launched to point it in the correct direction.
