Futures studies are strategic knowledge and key skills for discovering, analyzing, designing, and realizing the future. In practice, some organizations conduct futures studies as a project or a sectional action, while others define and implement it as a continuous process. Some experts believe futures studies are more than actions and processes, they are a complex phenomenon based on beliefs and behaviors institutionalized in the context and within the members of the organization, which we call culture of futures studies. Cultural studies on futures studies are a new topic. Futures studies culture expresses the organization's desire and serious determination to move towards the future, and requires components such as: long-term vision, risk-taking, awareness of changes, and a tendency to innovation. Accordingly, assessing the culture of futures studies can show to what extent the key characteristics and components of futures studies exist in the organization. This research systematically studied experiences, extracted relevant patterns and criteria, and identified four types of futures culture: "Leading futures, Prescriptive futures, Creative futures, and Traditional futures." Then, with the help of a field survey of 59 relevant managers and experts, it examined the futures culture in defense organizations. The results show that the futures culture is below average and often corresponds to the characteristics of the traditional futures culture. Based on the research findings, concepts and components such as "preferring criticism to credit", "unwillingness to change", "being obedient and submissive", and "emphasis on order and coherence" have the highest ranking in the futures culture of defense organizations.
