Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS | NOTE 15: PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS Defined Contribution Plan As of January 1, 2021, we sponsor numerous defined contribution savings plans, which allow our eligible employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax and/or after-tax income in accordance with specified guidelines. The plans include several match contribution formulas which requires us to match a percentage of the employee contributions up to certain limits, generally totaling between 2.0% to 6.0% of employee eligible pay. Matching contributions, net of forfeitures, charged to expense were $225 million, $105 million, $85 million and $83 million in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, and fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plan We also sponsor the L3Harris Excess Retirement Savings Plan (as amended and restated effective January 1, 2020), which is a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement for highly compensated employees (within the meaning of section 201(2) of ERISA). The plan obligations are funded by investments held in a Rabbi Trust. The following table provides the fair value of our deferred compensation plan investments and liabilities by category and by fair value hierarchy level:

_______________ (1)Represents diversified assets held in a “rabbi trust” associated with our non-qualified deferred compensation plans, which we include in the “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” line items in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, and which are measured at fair value. (2)Primarily represents obligations to pay benefits under certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans, which we include in the “Compensation and benefits” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under these plans, participants designate investment options (including stock and fixed-income funds), which serve as the basis for measurement of the notional value of their accounts. Defined Benefit Plans We sponsor numerous defined benefit pension plans for eligible employees. Benefits for most participants under the terms of these plans are based on the employee’s years of service and compensation. We fund these plans as required by statutory regulations and through voluntary contributions. Some of our employees also participate in other postretirement defined benefit plans such as health care and life insurance plans. Our Salaried Pension Plan (“SPP”) is our largest defined benefit pension plan, with assets valued at $7.9 billion and a projected benefit obligation of $9.4 billion as of January 1, 2021. Effective December 31, 2020, several U.S. defined benefit pension plans that we sponsor were merged into the SPP. Balance Sheet Information Amounts recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheet for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement defined benefit plans (collectively, “defined benefit plans”) reflect the funded status of our plans. The following table provides a summary of the funded status of our defined benefit plans and the presentation of such balances within our Consolidated Balance Sheet:

Actuarial losses in the projected benefit obligation as of January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020 were primarily the result of the decrease in the discount rate. Other sources of gains and losses such as plan experience, updated census data, mortality updates and minor adjustments to actuarial assumptions generated combined gains and losses of less than 1% of expected year end obligations.

_______________ (1)Effective January 1, 2020, for certain acquired L3 U.S. defined benefit pension plans, benefit accruals were frozen and replaced with a 1% cash balance benefit formula for certain employees who were not considered highly compensated on December 31, 2018. During the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, we recognized a $23 million curtailment gain as a result of this change, and a $5 million settlement loss resulting from the payout of the liabilities of a non-qualified benefit plan due to the change in control provisions.

Defined Benefit Plan Assumptions The determination of the assumptions related to defined benefit plans are based on the provisions of the applicable accounting pronouncements, review of various market data and discussions with our actuaries. We develop each assumption using relevant Company experience in conjunction with market-related data. Assumptions are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. The following tables provide the weighted-average assumptions used to determine projected benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost, as they pertain to our defined benefit pension plans:
Obligation assumptions as of: | January 1, 2021 |  | January 3, 2020 |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 2.31 | % |  | 3.14 | % |  |  |  |
Rate of future compensation increase | 3.01 | % |  | 2.80 | % |  |  |  |
Cash balance interest crediting rate | 3.50 | % |  | 3.50 | % |  |  |  |
Cost assumptions for fiscal periods ended: | January 1, 2021 |  | January 3, 2020 |  | June 28, 2019 |  | June 29, 2018
Discount rate to determine service cost | 2.87 | % |  | 3.11 | % |  | 3.89 | % |  | 3.48 | %
Discount rate to determine interest cost | 2.74 | % |  | 2.94 | % |  | 3.75 | % |  | 3.28 | %
Expected return on plan assets | 7.68 | % |  | 7.68 | % |  | 7.66 | % |  | 7.66 | %
Rate of future compensation increase | 2.80 | % |  | 2.97 | % |  | 2.76 | % |  | 2.76 | %
Cash balance interest crediting rate | 3.50 | % |  | 3.50 | % |  | 3.50 | % |  | 3.50 | %
Key assumptions for the SPP (our largest defined benefit pension plan with 85% of the total projected benefit obligation) included a discount rate for obligation assumptions of 2.32%, a cash balance interest crediting rate of 3.50% and expected return on plan assets of 7.75% for fiscal 2020, which is being reduced to 7.50% for fiscal 2021. There is also a frozen pension equity benefit that assumes a 3.25% interest crediting rate. The following table provides the weighted-average assumptions used to determine projected benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost, as they pertain to our other postretirement defined benefit plans:
Obligation assumptions as of: | January 1, 2021 |  | January 3, 2020 |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 2.10 | % |  | 2.97 | % |  |  |  |

Cost assumptions for fiscal periods ended: | January 1, 2021 |  | January 3, 2020 |  | June 28, 2019 |  | June 29, 2018
Discount rate to determine service cost | 3.25 | % |  | 3.47 | % |  | 4.14 | % |  | 3.62 | %
Discount rate to determine interest cost | 2.55 | % |  | 2.74 | % |  | 3.62 | % |  | 3.04 | %

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the expected returns for each major asset class in which the plans invest, the weight of each asset class in the strategic allocation, the correlations among asset classes and their expected volatilities. Our expected rate of return on plan assets is estimated by evaluating both historical returns and estimates of future returns. Specifically, the determination of the expected long-term rate of return takes into consideration: (1) the plan’s actual historical annual return on assets over the past 15-, 20- and 25-year time periods, (2) historical broad market returns over long-term timeframes weighted by the plan’s strategic allocation, and (3) independent estimates of future long-term asset class returns, weighted by the plan’s strategic allocation. Based on this approach, the long-term expected annual rate of return on assets is estimated at 7.50% for fiscal 2021 for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The weighted average long-term expected annual rate of return on assets for all defined benefit pension plans is estimated to be 7.43% for fiscal 2021. In fiscal 2020, we adopted updated mortality tables, which resulted in a decrease in the defined benefit plans’ projected benefit obligation as of January 1, 2021 and estimated net periodic benefit cost beginning with fiscal 2021. The assumed composite rate of future increases in the per capita healthcare costs (the healthcare trend rate) was 6.50% for fiscal 2021, decreasing ratably to 4.70% by fiscal 2030. To the extent that actual experience differs from these assumptions, the effect will be accumulated and generally amortized for each plan to the extent required over the estimated future life expectancy or, if applicable, the future working lifetime of the plan’s active participants. Investment Policy The investment strategy for managing defined benefit plan assets is to seek an optimal rate of return relative to an appropriate level of risk. We manage substantially all defined benefit plan assets on a commingled basis in a master investment trust. In making these asset allocation decisions, we take into account recent and expected returns and volatility of returns for each asset class, the expected correlation of returns among the different investments, as well as anticipated funding and cash flows. To enhance returns and mitigate risk, we diversify our investments by strategy, asset class, geography and sector and engage a large number of managers to gain broad exposure to the markets. The following table provides the current strategic target asset allocation ranges by asset category:
| Target Asset Allocation
Equity investments | 40 | % | — | 60%
Fixed income investments | 25 | % | — | 35%
Alternative investments | 10 | % | — | 25%
Cash and cash equivalents | 0 | % | — | 10%
Fair Value of Plan Assets The following is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for major categories of investments as reflected in the table that follows such description: •Domestic and international equities, which include common and preferred shares, domestic listed and foreign listed equity securities, open-ended and closed-ended mutual funds, real estate investment trusts and exchange traded funds, are generally valued at the closing price reported on the major market exchanges on which the individual securities are traded at the measurement date. Because these assets are traded predominantly on liquid, widely traded public exchanges, equity securities are categorized as Level 1 assets. •Private equity funds, which include buy-out, mezzanine, venture capital, distressed asset and secondary funds, are typically limited partnership investment structures. Private equity funds are valued using a market approach based on NAV calculated by the funds and are not publicly available. Private equity funds generally have liquidity restrictions that extend for ten or more years. At January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020, our defined benefit plans had future unfunded commitments totaling $518 million and $325 million, respectively, related to private equity fund investments. •Hedge funds, which include equity long/short, event-driven, fixed-income arbitrage and global macro strategies, are typically limited partnership investment structures. Limited partnership interests in hedge funds are valued using a market approach based on NAV calculated by the funds and are not publicly available. Hedge funds generally permit redemption on a quarterly or more frequent basis with 90 or fewer days-notice. At each of January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020, our defined benefit plans had no future unfunded commitments related to hedge fund investments. •Fixed income investments, which include U.S. Government securities, investment and non-investment grade corporate bonds and securitized bonds are generally valued using pricing models that use verifiable, observable market data such as interest rates, benchmark yield curves and credit spreads, bids provided by brokers or dealers, or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. Fixed income investments are generally categorized as Level 2 assets. Fixed income funds valued at the closing price reported on the major market exchanges on which the individual fund is traded are categorized as Level 1 assets. •Other is comprised of guaranteed insurance contracts valued at book value, which approximates fair value, calculated using the prior-year balance adjusted for investment returns and changes in cash flows and corporate owned life insurance policies valued at the accumulated benefit. •Cash and cash equivalents are primarily comprised of short-term money market funds valued at cost, which approximates fair value, or valued at quoted market prices of identical instruments. Cash and currency are categorized as Level 1 assets; cash equivalents, such as money market funds or short-term commingled funds, are categorized as Level 2 assets. •Certain investments that are valued using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are included in the table to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the aggregate postretirement benefit plan assets. The following tables provide the fair value of plan assets held by our defined benefit plans by asset category and by fair value hierarchy level:

Contributions Funding requirements under Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rules are a major consideration in making contributions to our postretirement benefit plans. With respect to U.S. qualified pension plans, we intend to contribute annually not less than the required minimum funding thresholds. The Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (“BBA 2015”) further extended the interest rate stabilization provision of MAP-21 until 2020. We made a $302 million voluntary contribution to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. As a result of this voluntary contribution, as well as $300 million and $400 million of voluntary contributions in fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively, we made no material contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 2020 or 2019. Furthermore, we are not required to make any contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2021. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following table provides the projected timing of payments for benefits earned to date and benefits expected to be earned for future service by current active employees under our defined benefit plans.

_______________ (1)Projected payments for Other Benefits reflect net payments from the Company, which include subsidies that reduce the gross payments by less than 10 percent. Multi-employer Benefit Plans Certain of our businesses acquired in connection with the L3Harris Merger participate in multi-employer defined benefit pension plans. We make cash contributions to these plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover union employees based on a fixed rate per hour of service worked by the covered employees. The risks of participating in these multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: (1) assets contributed to the multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers, (2) if a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers and (3) if we choose to stop participating in some of our multi-employer plans, we may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. Cash contributed and expenses recorded for our multi-employer plans were not material in fiscal 2020 or in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020.See Note 5: Business Combination in these Notes for information regarding postretirement benefit plan liabilities assumed in connection with the L3Harris Merger.
