Abstract

Creating the belief in mutual informational threat up to the point of regret forms the fundamental basis of Intelligence deterrence. Based on this, researchers in this article aim to explain and illustrate a model for this concept. The primary goal of the research is to identify the dimensions and components of the Intelligence deterrence model and to prove three hypotheses, where three main areas: "1- Power and capability, communication, awareness, and credibility as influencing factors; 2- Intelligence capture, Intelligence dominance, Intelligence defense as initial outcomes; 3- Intelligence power and security as the main outcomes of the model" have a direct and positive relationship with Intelligence deterrence.
This research, with a descriptive-analytical approach and mixed methodology, was conducted in a community of experts (think tank group) and a specialized community of 50 people, by collecting data from 23 participants. The result of the research is the explanation of the Intelligence deterrence model in two dimensions of "creation and application" (15 components) and identifying the underlying factors and outcomes (8 components).
