Given the facilities and equipment possessed, drones are capable of carrying out various intelligence, reconnaissance , protection , target locating , and electronic overhearing mission considering priority in the use of facilities , in particular human resources . in other words, unmanned aircrafts as sophisticated technologies will play crucial rule in prospective wars. On the other hand, considering the superiority of the countries opposing I.R of Iran in terms of weaponry and intelligence services, the prospective wars will be asymmetric in nature such that winning over the enemy will depend on tactical initiatives and advantages of appropriate equipment. To this end, desirable drone distributions can be highly affective for both the defensive policy and national security of I.R of Iran. This study was an attempt to elaborate on desirable drone distributions to carry out the aforementioned missions in asymmetric wars. As an applied developmental research, the study was conducted based on library sources, interview with authorities and administering multiple tests measuring the effective drone indices for intelligence services. Meanwhile, one sample tested, investigation of the current and desirable status, and professional meetings were included in the research in order to identify desirable distribution configuration.
