English term or phrase: broke lock
As the two vehicles come around on the 26th lunar revolution, Mike Collins aboard Columbia is spring loaded to do what is called a mirror image maneuver. Okay, we're about seven feet a second coming in at you. Eagle, Columbia. I've got 470 now for R-dot, and I just broke lock. Could you hold silence for a few seconds here while I re-acquire? Columbia has reacquired you. Okay, Mike, I'll try to get in position here and then you got it. Eagle, Columbia's starting to maneuver to TPI attitude.

"To use ECM [electronic countermeasure] or other countermeasure to make hostile tracking system(eg IR or radar) cease to track friendly or own aircraft."

"As it corrects, the laser signal continues to misinform the missile as to where the target is in its reticle, eventually causing the missile to "break lock" and fly off into a random direction."

http://blogdomigueljunior.blogspot.com/2016/07/kamikaze-ii.h...

"This meant that the target aircraft only had to perform a slight turn to move outside the missile seeker's field of view and cause the missile to lose track of the target ("break lock")."
