The main objective of this research is to examine and prioritize the quality improvement criteria in future wars, and to compare the status quo and the desired status of the indicators and analyze the gap between them. The present research is applied in terms of its purpose, and in terms of its method and nature, it is a descriptive survey. To collect data, a pair comparison questionnaire was used to prioritize the indicators, and a five-point Lickert scale questionnaire was used to collect the data in order to compare the status quo and the desired situation. The validity of the two questionnaires was verified by content and with the opinion of the academic and executive experts. To confirm the reliability of the first questionnaire, the reliability of the second questionnaire was used by Cronbach's alpha test. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS software and Expert Choice and analyzed through paired t-test and hierarchical analysis (AHP). The results of the study showed that among the indicators studied, the three indicators of flexibility, self-sufficiency and continuity have the most importance. Also, according to the research findings, the existing preparedness and support system in the face of future wars is significantly different from the desirable conditions for each of the 10 criteria, and the greatest gap is flexibility, timeliness and speed.
