Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Business Segment Information | Note S — Business Segment Information We structure our operations primarily around the products, systems and services we sell and the markets we serve, and we report the financial results of our continuing operations in the following four operating segments, which are also our reportable segments and are referred to as our business segments: •Integrated Mission Systems, including multi-mission intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) and communication systems; integrated electrical and electronic systems for maritime platforms; and advanced electro-optical and infrared solutions; •Space and Airborne Systems, including space payloads, sensors and full-mission solutions; classified intelligence and cyber defense; avionics; and electronic warfare; •Communication Systems, including tactical communications; broadband communications; integrated vision solutions; public safety radios, system applications and equipment; and global communications solutions; and •Aviation Systems, including defense aviation; commercial aviation products; commercial pilot training; and mission networks for air traffic management. See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for information relating to businesses divested or classified as held for sale in fiscal 2020 and 2021. The accounting policies of our business segments are the same as those described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K. We evaluate each business segment’s performance based on its operating income or loss, which we define as profit or loss from operations before income taxes, including pension income and excluding interest income and expense, royalties and related intellectual property expenses, equity method investment income or loss and gains or losses from securities and other investments. Intersegment sales are generally transferred at cost to the buying segment, and the sourcing segment recognizes a profit that is eliminated. The “Corporate eliminations” line item in the table below represents the elimination of intersegment sales. Corporate expenses are primarily allocated to our business segments using an allocation methodology prescribed by U.S. Government regulations for government contractors. The unallocated items in the table below represent the portion of corporate expenses not allocated to our business segments and elimination of intersegment profits. The “Pension adjustment” line item in the table below represents the reconciliation of the non-service components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, which are a component of segment operating income but are included in the “Non-operating income” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). The non-service components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of net actuarial gain or loss, and effect of curtailments or settlements. Segment revenue, segment operating income (loss) and a reconciliation of segment operating income to total income from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows:

_______________ (1)Includes amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of the L3Harris Merger and the acquisition of Exelis Inc., which benefited the entire Company as opposed to any individual segment; therefore, amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired was not allocated to any segment. Disaggregation of Revenue We disaggregate revenue for all four business segments by customer relationship, contract type and geographical region. We believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Integrated Mission Systems: Integrated Mission Systems revenue was primarily derived from U.S. Government development and production contracts and was generally recognized over time using the POC cost-to-cost revenue recognition method.
