Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent EventsOn October 3, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding equity securities of aerial target drone designer Sierra Technical Services, Inc. (“STS”) pursuant to which the Company (i) issued 866,026 shares of Kratos common stock valued at $12.8 million on October 3, 2023 and (ii) agreed to issue up to an additional 979,038 shares of Kratos common stock valued at $14.5 million pursuant to certain holdback and earn-out provisions, in each case, to the former stockholders of STS.

Additional disclosures related to this transaction will be included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Examples include: the sale of a capital stock issue, purchase of a business, settlement of litigation, catastrophic loss, significant foreign exchange rate changes, loans to insiders or affiliates, and transactions not in the ordinary course of business.
