AIM9X can be slaved to the pilots helmet and use lock after launch. It means that you can also take over shoulder shots, although I've no idea what the success rate of that would be.

I believe in early F22 life they'd open the bays and push out the AIM9Ls for lock. Once you're that close and engaging stealth is out the window.
