Development of territorial defense strategies based on geomorphological analysis in Minab and Sirik regions

Defense and security organizations operate in a very complex and unstable environment. Long-term defense planning encourages thinking about possible situations and helps defense organizations prepare for the future to improve their strategy by providing insights into possible future dangers. The main purpose of this study is to study the geomorphological features of Minab and Sirik areas in the east of the Strait of Hormuz and their impact on the development of territorial defense strategies. The type of applied research and its nature is analytical-descriptive. Data were collected in the form of libraries - documentary and survey and its data were qualitative and quantitative. The statistical population includes 24 elites and experts in defense and security issues. The coefficient of criteria was determined based on the Likert spectrum. Using SWOT analytical tool, 34 indicators (strengths 8, weaknesses 9, opportunities 8 and threats 9) were evaluated and evaluated by relevant experts. The Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) was used to select the optimal strategy from the strategies obtained from SWOT analysis. The results of the SWOT model suggest the (WO) strategy as the optimal strategy in the Minab and Sirik regions. At the same time, in prioritizing the review strategy using the model (QSPM), the priority and superiority of the strategy is to use and deploy advanced defense, radar and eavesdropping systems, parallel to the shoreline and the points that create maximum frequency range over other review strategies.
