Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
General General
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and its subsidiaries ("Comtech," "we," "us," or "our") as of and for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all material adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the unaudited interim periods. Our results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021 and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and all of our other filings with the SEC.

    Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic ("COVID-19") and Global Supply Chain Constraints on Our Business

Since March 2020, we have conducted most of our non-production related operations using remote working arrangements, curtailed most business travel, and have established social distancing safeguards. Both COVID-19 and the related global supply chain constraints have impacted our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as the operations and financial performance of many of the customers and suppliers in industries that we serve. We have experienced order and production delays, supply chain disruptions, lower levels of factory utilization and higher logistics and operational costs. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is by no means over and additional waves of COVID-19 could again alter the business landscape, we believe that the pandemic’s worst impact on our business is largely behind us. Our long-term fundamentals remain strong and we continue to believe our business is well-positioned for growth.
