The '''HAL Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter''' ('''TEDBF''') is a [[Canard (aeronautics)|canard]] [[delta wing]], [[Twinjet|twin-engine]], [[Carrier-based aircraft|carrier based]], [[multirole combat aircraft]] currently under development for the Indian Navy. The TEDBF is designed and developed by the [[Aeronautical Development Agency]] (ADA), with [[Hindustan Aeronautics Limited]] (HAL) selected as the prime contractor responsible for the flight testing and manufacturing.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Sutton|first=H.

The programme was officially announced in 2020, in response to the Indian Navy's dissatisfaction in operating a single-engine carrier-based fighter based on [[HAL Tejas|Tejas]] and eventual withdrawal from the naval LCA programme in 2016.

==Development==
=== Naval LCA programme ===
{{Main|HAL Tejas}}
The naval LCA programme to develop a carrier-based fighter for the Indian Navy was launched in 2003.<ref name="auto10">{{cite web|title=ADA LCA Navy Programme|url=https://www.ada.gov.in/ada/navy-mark1-mark2.html}}</ref> The ADA was entrusted with the design and development of the new naval fighter based on the Tejas design. The programme was envisaged to complete in two phases - in the first phase two prototypes were built based on the Tejas Mark 1 design and in the second phase two prototypes were to be built based on the Tejas Mark 2 design.<ref>{{cite web|title=ADA LCA Navy Programme|url=https://www.ada.gov.in/ada/navy-mark1-mark2.html}}</ref> The programme was jointly funded by the [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]] (DRDO) and the Indian Navy, with the later funding 40% and 60% of the developmental cost of naval LCA Mark 1 and Mark 2 respectively.<ref>{{Cite news|last=IANS|date=2017-12-01|title=India's first indigenous aircraft carrier to join Navy by 2022: Sunil Lanba|work=Business Standard India|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/india-s-first-indigenous-aircraft-carrier-to-join-navy-by-2022-sunil-lanba-117120100940_1.html|access-date=2021-06-09}}</ref> In 2009, the [[Cabinet Committee on Security]] approved the development of Mark 2 variant of the naval LCA.<ref name="dnaindia1">Krishnan M., Anantha.

A proposed air force variant of aircraft is named the Omni-Role Combat Aircraft (ORCA) and is under study. The Indian Air Force requires more than 750 aircraft between 2030 and 2050.
