With the end of the Cold War, the process of regional integration entered a new stage. Due to the priority of economic activities over military actions and the emergence of the idea of geo-economics, most of the regional agreements are defined in the form of mutual economic cooperation. This research aims to analyze and investigate the limitations of the relationship between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Southeast Asian region "ASEAN". The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical, which has been used to collect information by referring to library sources and reliable sites. The "ASEAN" region has become the center of global attention due to its geopolitical and geoeconomic strengths, which have rapidly expanding markets and high financial strength. The country of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in terms of being located in the important basin of the Persian Gulf and having energy resources, in addition to its geopolitical and strategic importance, has gained a special geo-economic importance. The Islamic Republic of Iran can reach its political, economic and cultural goals in the region by benefiting from this capacity and by establishing regional integration and regionalism with the ASEAN countries. But Iran has so far not been successful in creating regionalism and regional convergences in order to achieve geopolitical power and influence economic and political policies in this region

With the changing nature of wars, advanced armies have been using fundamental changes in their combat organization and the use of new technologies for more than three decades, utilizing unmanned systems to perform many tasks and complete their missions. It is evident that the ground battlefield cannot and should not ignore the importance of having a well-defined model for the use of these systems. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to design a model for the use of remotely-controlled devices on the ground battlefield.The present research is applied developmental in terms of purpose and is part of exploratory research in terms of method. The statistical population of the research includes 70 senior officers with at least a master's degree, familiar with the latest technologies regarding remotely-controlled devices, with backgrounds in strategic, operational, and tactical positions, and familiarity with the future war environment. Therefore, the sample size is equal to the statistical population and is a complete enumeration.Thus, by extracting the dimensions, components, and items of using remotely-controlled devices on the ground battlefield through exploratory study and continuous and meticulous thinking on the theoretical foundations and research literature, as well as interviews with experts, and evaluating them from the perspective of five criteria, and combining and modifying the effective factors, a model for the use of remotely-controlled devices in ground operations was developed

Future warfare systems, which will serve as the offensive arm of armies in the coming decades, are networks composed of manned and unmanned systems interconnected through a digital communication network. These systems will be responsible for gathering intelligence and carrying out a significant portion of warfare. With the changing nature of wars, advanced armies have been fundamentally restructuring their combat organizations for more than three decades, exploiting new technologies, particularly unmanned systems such as drones, to perform many tasks and accomplish their missions. It is evident that naval battlefields cannot and should not ignore the importance of having a well-established model for the use of these systems.Thus, the aim of this research is to design a model for employing remote-controlled systems on the naval battlefield. This research, in terms of its objective, is applied developmental research and, in terms of method, is exploratory. The overall statistical population of the research is estimated at 70 individuals using a checklist, meaning the sample size corresponds to the entire statistical population.By identifying the dimensions, components, and items for employing remote-controlled systems on the naval battlefield through exploratory studies, continuous and thoughtful analysis of the theoretical foundations and literature, interviews with experts, and evaluating them based on five criteria (validity, reliability, objectivity, sensitivity, and generalizability), and combining and refining the influential factors, a model for the employment of remote-controlled systems in naval operations has been developed
