| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation and Principle of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principle of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Telos and its subsidiaries (see Note 1 – Organization), all of whose issued and outstanding share capital is wholly owned directly and indirectly by Telos Corporation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience, currently available information, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, including those relating to revenue recognition on cost estimation on certain contracts, allowance for credit losses, inventory obsolescence, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, income taxes, certain assumptions related to share-based compensation, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, restructuring expenses accruals, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The impact of changes in estimates is recorded in the period in which they become known.

| Restructuring Expenses | Restructuring Expenses As disclosed in the Company's recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company committed to a restructuring plan as part of its efforts to streamline operations and to align people, roles and projects to our strategic priorities ("2025 restructuring"). The 2025 restructuring plan reduced the Company's workforce, with a portion of the affected employees separating from the business during the current quarter and the remainder expected to separate by the third quarter of 2026. The Company continues to evaluate the 2025 restructuring plan and may incur incremental restructuring charges through the remainder of 2026 to the extent such charges are determined to be probable and estimable. The Company incurred $1.5 million in cumulative restructuring expenses related to the 2025 restructuring plan. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its restructuring expense accrual to determine if the liabilities reported are still appropriate. Any changes in the estimated costs of executing the approved restructuring plan are reflected in the Company's unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company adopted all applicable standards effective as of December 31, 2025, within these unaudited consolidated financial statements, with no material impact as a result of the adoption. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." This standard requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the statement of operations, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application. All public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our unaudited consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivables and Contract Assets.” This standard provides simplified guidance on measuring credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets. The update introduces a practical expedient and an accounting policy election to ease the process. All entities can elect the practical expedient to assume that the current economic conditions at the balance sheet date will remain constant through the life of the current receivables and contract assets. Entities that elect the practical expedient and the accounting policy election should apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively. The ASU was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2026 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting of Internal-Use Software." This standard provides a simplified, consistent way to track expenses related to software developed for internal use. The amendments in this standard removed all references to project stages; instead, a company can capitalize software costs once both conditions are met: the entity's management has authorized and committed to funding the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this ASU on our unaudited consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements," which was intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. Public entities are required to adopt the guidance for interim reporting periods within annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this ASU on our unaudited consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, "Codification Improvement." This ASU includes a number of improvements that span a wide range of topics, which includes amendments on the following provisions, among other things, (1) clarify diluted earnings per share ("EPS") calculation when a loss from continuing operation exists; (2) revising the calculation of the reference amount for beneficial interests to prevent double counting credit losses; (3) clarify the permissible methods to account for treasury stock retirements; and (4) clarify the guidance for transfers of receivables from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this ASU on our unaudited consolidated financial statements. In addition, from time to time, new accounting standards are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard-setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified accounting date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that issued standards not yet effective will not have a material effect on its financial statements.

| Revenue Recognition | The majority of our revenue is recognized over time, as control is transferred continuously to our customers, who receive and consume benefits as we perform. Revenue transferred to customers over time accounted for 71% and 79% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. For performance obligations in which control does not continuously transfer to the customer, we recognize revenue when each performance obligation is fully satisfied. This coincides with the point in time the customer obtains control of the product or service, which typically occurs upon customer acceptance or receipt of the product or service, given that we maintain control of the product or service until that point. Revenue transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for 29% and 21% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The change in revenue mix for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the prior period, was primarily driven by an increase in product sales volume from a successful ramp-up of a significant program. Our contracts may include various types of variable considerations and may include estimated amounts in the transaction price, based on all of the information available to us, and to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when any uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. We evaluate and include these estimated amounts of variable consideration in the transaction price and as performance on these contracts is complete, we adjust our revenue when deemed necessary. No revenue adjustments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025. We provide for anticipated losses on contracts during the period when the loss is determined by recording an expense for the total expected costs that exceed the total estimated revenue for a performance obligation. No contract loss was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We recorded an immaterial contract loss during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
