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 being designed and developed by the [[Aeronautical Development Agency]] (ADA), and will be manufactured by [[Hindustan Aeronautics Limited]] (HAL).<ref name=":0" /> The TEDBF is intended to perform a multitude of missions, including [[Air supremacy|air supremacy]], [[Air interdiction|air interdiction]], [[anti-access/area denial]] (A2/AD), [[anti-ship warfare]] (ASW) and [[Electronic warfare|electronic warfare]] (EW) missions.<ref name=":0" /> The TEDBF is expected to replace the [[Mikoyan MiG-29K#India|Mikoyan MiG-29K]] onboard the {{ship|INS|Vikramaditya}} and the {{ship|INS|Vikrant|2013|6}}.<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web|title=MiG-29K Aircraft Replacement, Indian TEDBF Breaks Cover at Aero India 2021|url=https://www.defenseworld.net/news/28882/MiG_29_K_Aircraft_Replacement__Indian_TEDBF_Breaks_Cover_at_Aero_India_2021#.YB6y32nhUwB|access-date=2021-02-06|website=www.defenseworld.net}}</ref><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 the [[HAL Tejas]], and its 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 task of designing and developing a new naval fighter based on the existing Tejas template. The programme was envisaged to be completed in two phases - in the first phase, two prototypes were to be built, based on the Tejas Mk. 1 design. In the second phase, two more prototypes were to be built based on the Tejas Mk. 2 design.<ref name="auto10"/> The programme was jointly funded by the [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]] (DRDO) and the Indian Navy, with the latter funding 40% and 60% of the developmental cost of naval LCA Mk. 1 and Mk. 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 Mk. 2 variant of the naval LCA.<ref name="dnaindia1">Krishnan M., Anantha.
