Yes and no.

You can fire the Trident without lock on but it will fire straight on and the rocket will explode on contact with anything within 600m (or just explode at 600m if nothing is in the way). You will most frequently do this if you are firing on level ground at a wall or structure that a red bot is very close to.

You need the target lock if you want to fire at any target that is not on level ground - as it is not usually possible to hit the target otherwise.
