Yes the MAD worked.
We also had a LOFAR passive acoustics system the AQA 5 as well as the Mk 1c
ESM was the ARAR/ARAX which I recollect was a French system.
The Tactical system was the major leap forward, integrating all the analogue sensors and displaying data. it took away al the manual work required in the Shack and alowed the tacnav to concentrate on using the aircraft as a weapon !
Mind you the trappers always made sure that it was switched of for some portion of your annual check ride.
Crew composition was much the same as the present MR2 but I think was more than the Shack.
Hope that helps
