Our Logo

This logo mark is created with color tones associating Japan Ministry of Defense/Self-Defense Forces (blue and green) with National Defense Academy (Shikon). Three lively moving arrows suggest the following meanings:
- National Defense Academy is a basic platform for education, training, and research to foster future leaders of the Japan Self-Defense Forces and to support their joint operations.
- The Center takes an interdisciplinary approach to Global Security Studies based on organic connection of Humanities and Social Sciences, Sciences and Engineering, and Defense Sciences.
- The Center promotes joint research in cooperation with industry, government, and the academic community.
