Various patterns of wars have been observed during different periods of human life so that they were considered as a symbol of knowledge and intellectual level of the time. Gradually, the importance of knowledge is increased over the time and surrounded more aspects of human life. Wars are not exempted from this rule so that, nowadays, different fields of battle are being knowledge-based. The aim of this study is “to achieve mutual effects between knowledge-based defense and future wars”. This is an applied-development research and  is done by a case-field method. Also, data are being collected through library resources and are analyzed by quantitative and qualitative methods (through applying SPSS and EXCEL softwares).    
According to the study findings, knowledge-based defense and future wars have significant mutual effects. On one hand, the most important characteristics of future threats that have the greatest influence on the type of knowledge-based defense are as follows, respectively: evolution of collection, exchange and processing of information, being knowledge and technology-based, accuracy and intelligence, increasing the importance of command and control in the next war. On the other hand, the most important characteristics of knowledge-based defense that will have the greatest impact on future threats are as follows, respectively: immersive defense- relyance on integrated-intelligent control and command systems by applying decision support systems -being effects-based.
