The present article aims to define and determine various dimensions of strategic information review and analyze its role and function in the field of national security, in order to achieve and introduce an appropriate model in this regard. The method used in this research is "grounded theory". The mechanism of this method is designed in such a way that primarily the statistical population of the study, which includes the elites of the security and strategic fields and managers of political and strategic fields, are determined, then their related views on strategic information are collected according to theoretical saturation method. Subsequently the collected information will be extracted and categorized and then analytical propositions and basic concepts on strategic information and its processes will be extracted and analyzed based on the analysis of the results. Non-probable and purposeful sampling method was used in this research. The results of research based on grounded theory indicate that strategic information, in different perceptual processes, analysis, detection of security phenomena and strategic policy making, and specifically confronting with threats and achieving an appropriate model for achieving sustainable security, play a key role and performs different functions. In other words, the results of this study indicate the fact that the consolidation of national security is depended to the collection, accumulation of analysis and processing and intelligent use of strategic information in various fields. This process is possible by completion of the information cycle, rethinking renovation and continuous completion and accurate analysis of information.
