Ahead of the upcoming Defexpo 2014, Swedish defence major Saab once again presents a combat quiz to test a participant's knowledge of the options available on the battlefied.

The quiz will rank all those who pass the test by their level of competence on the field.

The battlefield can be found at http://www.commandersaab.com where one seek honours at three different levels: Captain Saab, Major Saab and ultimately the Commander Saab, a company statement said.

"This year's Commander Saab challenge is the successor to the hugely successful Commander Saab 2013 held during Aero India 2013 that saw contestants from nearly 50 Indian cities participate and win prized Saab collectibles," the statement said.

Winners will be chosen by a computerised draw from all correct answers and will receive trophies ranging from Gripen memorabilia to Saab mementoes and other limited-edition material.

"The theme for Saab at Defexpo this year is 'Teaming Up With India'. We will be teaming not just with Indian stakeholders from government, the defence forces, homeland security, research, technology and industry - but with all Indians who are driven by the excitement and thrill of witnessing a battlefield through the virtual medium," said Lars Olof Lindgren, chairman of Saab India Technologies Pvt Ltd.

"Saab is pleased to create an opportunity for people to learn about the world of defence through our unique Commander Saab contest. We believe that the more the people of India get to see and understand the complex technologies making their defence and security uncompromising and effective, the more they will appreciate the depth and breadth of Swedish military technologies," Lindgren added.

The contest will run until the end of Defexpo 2014 .
