At first and through studying some documents related to defense acquisition systems in pioneer countries such as USA, UK and France, 28 principles and mechanisms were identified.

After that and in order to assess the priority and current situation of these principles and mechanisms, 40 questionaries were distributed among defense managers and specialists and finally 32 questionaries were completed. Eventually, these 20 principles and mechanisms were classified in 4 categories based on their priority and current situation and proper strategies were proposed for each category: monitoring strategy (low priority-unfavorable situation); revising strategy (low priority-favorable situation); improving strategy (high priority-unfavorable situation) and monitoring strategy (low priority-unfavorable situation).
