The trend of increasing importance and impact of knowledge in defense organizations is undeniable. In this regard, in order to manage knowledge and its acquisition and creation in defense organizations, it is necessary to pay full and comprehensive attention to the issue of knowledge social computing. Knowledge social computing is a branch of knowledge management literature that is a kind of development of intellectual capital, software and hardware that is used with the necessary conditions to exchange or combine a concept or category. The purpose of this study is to design a pattern of knowledge social computing in the defense organizations of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on the values of the school of pure Islam, which extracts key and important points. Relevant codes have been extracted through the study of sources such as the Holy Quran, hadiths, Islamic texts and the orders of the Imams of the Islamic Revolution, from the perspective of beneficial science and by reviewing interviews with the defense industry experts. The research approach is a mixed method with a partially mixed sequential dominant status design. In this research, three methods of "domain review-Grounded theory-survey" have been used. First, qualitative and then quantitative data have been collected and analyzed. In the qualitative phase, first the internal and external sources related to the domain review method have been extracted and then while reviewing the relevant archival sources, an interview has been conducted with defense experts and then using the qualitative method of the Grounded Theory, 298 indicators, 32 concepts, 14 components and 8 dimensions have been extracted. In the quantitative phase, a questionnaire has been used to collect data, and the seven-point Likert scale has been used for assessment. To confirm the components of the framework and explain their relationships, the survey method has been used. The results show that the two dimensions of power and scientific independence and indigenous facilities and capacities are the most related ones to the social computing of knowledge in defense organizations. One of the important results of this research is the essential role of knowledge social computing, which can document most of the knowledge assets of defense organizations that are produced by individuals during the work processes, and the process of absorbing, acquiring and creating knowledge to the point of scientific demarcation.
