Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segment Information Business Segment Information
We provide a wide range of professional services and the management of our business is heavily focused on major projects or programs within each of our reportable segments. At any given time, government programs and joint ventures
represent a substantial part of our operations. Our reportable segments follow the same accounting policies as those described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

We are organized into two core business segments, Government Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions and one non-core business segment as described below:

Government Solutions. Our Government Solutions business segment provides full life-cycle support solutions to defense, intelligence, space, aviation and other programs and missions for military and other government agencies primarily in the U.S., U.K. and Australia. KBR's services cover the full spectrum spanning research and development, advanced prototyping, acquisition support, systems engineering, C4ISR, cyber analytics, space domain awareness, test and evaluation, systems integration and program management, global supply chain management and operations readiness and support. With the acquisition of Frazer-Nash Consultancy Limited ("Frazer-Nash") on October 20, 2021 (described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements), our GS business segment also provides a broad range of professional advisory services to deliver high-end systems engineering, systems assurance and technology to customers across the defense, energy and critical infrastructure sectors primarily in the U.K. and Australia.

Sustainable Technology Solutions. Our Sustainable Technology Solutions business segment is anchored by our portfolio of over 70 innovative, proprietary, sustainability-focused process technologies that we license spanning four primary areas: ammonia/syngas/fertilizers, chemical/petrochemicals, clean refining and circular process/circular economy solutions. STS also includes our highly synergistic advisory and consulting practice focused on energy transition and net-zero carbon emission consulting, our high-end engineering, design and professional services offerings, as well as our technology-led industrial solutions build on our KBR INSITE® platform. KBR INSITE® is a proprietary, digital, cloud-based operations and maintenance platform that identifies opportunities for our clients to achieve sustainable improvements in production, reliability, environment impact, energy efficiency and ultimately profitability. From early planning through scope definition, advanced technologies and facility life-cycle support, our STS business segment works closely with customers to provide what we believe is the optimal approach to maximize their return on investment.

Other. Our non-core Other segment includes corporate expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses not allocated to the business segments above.
