Today, Science and Research Centers (SRCs) by establishing flow of knowledge and information and exchanging it among industry players can provide an appropriate platform for the production, development and dissemination of science and technology and creating an atmosphere of innovation in the country. Therefore, SRCs need to use a model to measure innovation and its maturity. In this research, based on the literature review and experts’ opinion, six main indicators were identified: innovation culture, development and infrastructures of innovation, networking, innovation processes, human resources and policies and strategies of a Defense Scientific and Research Centers (DSRCs). After confirming the indicators, by using the factor load of questions and the average of comments, the importance of each item and its performance were identified, respectively. Then, using the importance-performance matrix, the variables were measured and guidance strategy of each index based on the importance-performance matrix analysis was proposed. This research in terms of purpose is applied and in terms of nature and research method is descriptive-survey. The final results show that the average of all innovation indicators is less than the theoretical average. The only HR Factor of the institution is close to average and desirable index.

Agile innovation for defense industrial organizations means a set of processes, tools and methods to improve the ability to respond quickly to changing market and customer needs, actual and potential threats combined with cost control and improving the quality of products and services. An agile innovation industrial system with its extraordinary capabilities is (internal capabilities such as hardware and software technologies, human resource and skilled management) to achieve rapid and immediate market changes (including speed, flexibility, customers and responsiveness) and actual and potential threats. So, this study aims to develop a strategic model of agile innovation of defense industrial organizations. Data were collected through a review of library information and interviews with 20 experts. After open, pivotal and selective coding in thirty-seven categories, the study of strategic model of agile innovation was developed and the theory of agile innovation of defense industrial organizations was expressed in ten cases. Also, in order to evaluate the validity and reliability of the proposed model, a researcher-made questionnaire was developed and a statistical sample of 110 people answered the questions. Due to the non-normality of the data, Smart-Plus software was used to analyze the data. It is concluded that the consequence of agile innovation of defense industrial organizations can be expressed as the stability of new innovation in a changing environment, the establishment of an intelligent defense industrial system and gaining the advantage of the defense sector.

The importance of conducting research on issues in the field of human resources has become more apparent regarding the changes in this arena. This research aims to study the future of human resources and also to recognize the characteristics of human resources during the future decades in the defense industries. Thus, in this study, at first the effective drivers on the future of human resources were extracted by conducting interviews and data analysis method, then in order to determine the validity of these drivers, the expertise of professors and experts in this field were used in the form of expertise Delphi. The statistical population included experts in the field of human resources in the defense industries and the sampling method is nonprobability due to the quality of the research method. Finally, by using interviews and extracting drivers and surveying experts in the form of expertise Delphi and using SPSS software, the most important drivers affecting the future of human resources were presented. The results of this study showed that the most important drivers affecting the future of human resources are as the following: Economic inequity, decline in the attraction of employing knowledgeable forces in government organizations, reduction in economic growth, intergenerational gap, increase of elders in the future of the country and unemployment. Finally, solutions have been presented for each of these drivers.

Agile innovation means a set of processes, instruments and methods to improve the ability to react quickly to the shifting needs of the market and customers, along with decreasing costs and improving the quality of products and services. The foundation of agile innovation is to align employees and work processes in a homogeneous, interactive and flexible system in order to make them smart and attain dominance. The present study has been conducted with the aim of "planning the agile innovation model of defensive industrial organizations with structural-interpretive modeling and fuzzy dematel modeling". It is an applied research in terms of its purpose, and a descriptive-analytical, survey and correlational one regarding its method. The study population was 80 experts who were selected as the sample based on the Morgan table. Also, 12 experts answered the questionnaire in order to classify and prioritize the factors. The data collection instrument employed in this research was a researcher-made questionnaire including 52 items. Its Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated to be 0.920. As the research findings shows, hardware capability, software capability, variation in occupational and technical processes, reconfiguration, improving the quality of products and services, flexibility in product design and production process, competency in designing new products, speed in designing and production of new products, planning of production, capability-orientedness, speed of reaction to new threats and needs, success in meeting current needs, economic and market success, success in creating opportunities and environmental intelligence have close relationship with each other, thus changing each of them will influence other factors as well. Moreover, based on fuzzy dematel output, hardware capability is the most effective factor and environmental intelligence is the most susceptible factor among the other factors.
