| Segment Reporting | The Company now has three customer facing business groups which are also its operating segments. They are aggregated into two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes given the similarity in economic and qualitative characteristics, and based on the nature of the customers they serve. The Company’s two reportable segments are the Defense and Intelligence segment and the Civilian segment. The Defense and Intelligence segment provides a diverse portfolio of national security solutions to the Department of War ("DoW", formerly referred to as the Department of Defense) and the Intelligence Community of the United States Government, supporting a variety of missions across land, sea, air, and space. The Civilian segment provides solutions to the civilian markets, encompassing federal, state, and local governments. This includes integrating solutions into a spectrum of public service missions that impact travel, security, trade, health and the economy. The offerings of both reportable segments entail the integration of emerging technologies into mission critical operations that modernize and enable national imperatives. These services include end-to-end solutions spanning the design, development, integration, deployment, management, operation, sustainment, and security of customer hardware and software platforms. The Company's Solutions and Technology Group ("STG") supports the operating segments by developing enterprise-class solutions to meet complex customer needs and accelerate digital transformation. These capabilities are delivered to the Company's customers as stand-alone solutions, or integrated with the Company's product offerings through the operations of the business. The STG includes teams focused on artificial intelligence, application development, network services, platforms and cloud, engineering, and cybersecurity. It uses a highly automated, cloud-hosted tool set to rapidly build, test, deploy, and continuously enhance solutions. Costs associated with corporate functions that are not allocable to the reportable segments are presented as Corporate activities.

| Basis of Presentation | References to “financial statements” refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, which include the statements of income and comprehensive income, balance sheets, statements of equity and statements of cash flows. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). |
| Consolidation | All intercompany transactions and account balances within the Company have been eliminated. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the financial statements may include, but are not limited to, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, income taxes, fair value measurements, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, pension and defined benefit plan obligations, and contingencies. Estimates have been prepared by management on the basis of the most current and best available information at the time of estimation and actual results could differ from those estimates.

| Accounting Standards Updates | Accounting Standards Updates Accounting Standards Updates Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard includes new disclosure requirements relating to specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) that are included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. In January 2025, the FASB clarified the effective date of the standard by issuing ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its financial statement disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The standard modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing all references to project stages and defining a probable-to-complete threshold to begin capitalizing costs. The standard also clarifies the disclosure requirements for capitalized internal-use software costs. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendment can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or on a modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

| Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share ("EPS") Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based awards. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based awards is computed using the treasury stock method.
|
| Change in Estimates and Disaggregation of Revenues | Changes in Estimates on Contracts Changes in estimates of revenues, cost of revenues or profits related to performance obligations satisfied over time are recognized in operating income in the period in which such changes are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes. Changes in these estimates can occur routinely over the performance period for a variety of reasons, which include: changes in scope; changes in cost estimates due to unanticipated cost growth or reassessments of risks impacting costs; changes in the estimated transaction price, such as variable amounts for incentive or award fees; and performance being better or worse than previously estimated. A significant portion of the Company's contracts recognize revenue on performance obligations using a cost input measure (cost-to-cost), which requires estimates of total costs at completion. In cases when total expected costs exceed total estimated revenues for a performance obligation, the Company recognizes the total estimated loss in the quarter identified. Total estimated losses are inclusive of any unexercised options that are probable of award, only if they increase the amount of the loss. Disaggregation of Revenues The Company's revenues are generated primarily from long-term contracts with the U.S. government including subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. government. The Company disaggregates revenues by customer, contract type and prime versus subcontractor to the federal government for each of its reportable segments.

| Investments in Equity Securities, Policy | Investments in Equity Securities The Company invests in certain companies that advance or develop new technologies applicable to its business. Each investment is evaluated for consolidation under the variable interest entities model and/or the voting interest model. As of May 1, 2026, none of the Company's investments in equity securities were consolidated. On April 20, 2026, the Company sold all of its equity in one of its investments, which resulted in a gain of $12 million recognized within "Other operating (income) expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of income and $15 million in cash proceeds, recognized within "Proceeds from sales of investments" on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
