Explosively formed projectile (EFP) and High Explosive Anti Tank are the same thing, a shaped charge designed to penetrate armor. This is what the STRIX round uses.
An EFP uses a shaped charge to form a projectile from a metal plate (copper was used by the Jaish Al Mahdi in Iraq).... while a HEAT round uses the gases that are formed inside the projectile to punch through armor
I'm pretty sure the original version of Strix can only lock onto stationary targets and within a 200m wide area :)
It also tends to go for the hottest part like the engine block of a tank instead of the turret.

Yes they are both "shaped charges" designed to penetrate armor, but HEAT rounds does not use gases to punch through armor though.
HEAT: A shaped charge with a cone shaped metal liner, forms a jet in a close stand-off=deep armor penetration.
EFP: A shaped charge with a concave shaped metal liner, that forms a projectile at a grater stand-off=less armor penetration
I may have oversimplified, but that was just to make it clear that it's just as scarry both ways.
