More than a combat flight simulator, it offers a strategic component based on modern air warfare theories first applied in the 1991 Gulf War. he strategic component is based on modern air warfare theories first applied in the 1991 Gulf War and developed by Col. John Warden III. It proposed a 5 ring theory of strategic targeting: 1 – Leadership, 2 - Key Production, 3 – Infrastructure – 4 - Population – 5- Fielded Forces. In addition to a detailed simulation of the F-22 fighter, TAW simulates a near-future war in the Red Sea region (northeast Africa and Saudi Arabia).
