Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company has one consolidated subsidiary with income attributable to a noncontrolling interest. The net income and comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is insignificant. The Company's investments in entities it does not control but over which it has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method and are included in Other Assets. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The functional currency for significant subsidiaries operating outside the United States is typically their respective local currency. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses due to the remeasurement of account balances in foreign currencies are included within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and were not material to the Company's results of operations for 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . Revenue Recognition The Company enters into sales arrangements that may provide for multiple deliverables to a customer. The Company identifies all goods and/or services that are to be delivered separately under a sales arrangement and allocates revenue to each deliverable based on relative fair values. Fair values are generally established based on the prices charged when sold separately by the Company. In general, revenues are separated between hardware, engineering services, maintenance services and installation services. The allocated revenue for each deliverable is then recognized using appropriate revenue recognition methods. Sales related to long-term contracts requiring development and delivery of products over several years are generally accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in accordance with the Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts subtopic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification. The percentage-of-completion method is predominately used in the Government Systems segment and sales and earnings under qualifying contracts are recorded either as products are shipped under the units-of-delivery method (for production effort), or based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs expected to be incurred related to the contract under the cost-to-cost method (for development effort). Purchase options and change orders are accounted for either as an integral part of the original contract or separately depending upon the nature and value of the item. Sales and costs related to profitable purchase options are included in estimates only when the options are exercised whereas sales and costs related to unprofitable purchase options are included in estimates when exercise is determined to be probable. Sales related to change orders are included in estimates only if they can be reliably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which losses become probable and estimable. Changes in estimates of profit or loss on contracts are included in earnings on a cumulative basis in the period the estimate is changed. Sales related to long-term separately priced product maintenance or warranty contracts are accounted for based on the terms of the underlying agreements. Certain contracts are fixed-price contracts with sales recognized ratably over the contractual life, while other contracts have a fixed hourly rate with sales recognized based on actual labor or flight hours incurred. The cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes sales for most other products or services when all of the following criteria are met: an agreement of sale exists, product delivery and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit with original maturity dates of three months or less and money market funds. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Allowances are established in order to report receivables at net realizable value on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The determination of these allowances requires management of the Company to make estimates and judgments as to the collectability of customer account balances. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using costs which approximate the first-in, first-out method, less related progress payments received. Inventoried costs include direct costs of manufacturing, certain engineering costs and allocable overhead costs. The Company regularly compares inventory quantities on hand on a part level basis to estimated forecasts of product demand and production requirements as well as historical usage. Based on these comparisons, management establishes an excess and obsolete inventory reserve as needed. Inventory valuation reserves were $87 million and $91 million at September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company defers certain pre-production engineering costs during the development phase of a program in connection with long-term supply arrangements that contain contractual guarantees for reimbursement from customers. Such customer guarantees generally take the form of a minimum order quantity with quantified reimbursement amounts if the minimum order quantity is not taken by the customer. These costs are deferred to the extent of the contractual guarantees and are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a units-of-delivery method, up to 15 years. This amortization expense is included as a component of cost of sales. Amortization is based on the Company’s expectation of delivery rates on a program-by-program basis and begins when the Company starts recognizing revenue as the Company delivers equipment for the program. The estimated useful life is limited to the amount of time the Company is virtually assured to earn revenues under long-term supply arrangements with the Company’s customers. Pre-production engineering costs incurred pursuant to supply arrangements that do not contain customer guarantees for reimbursement are expensed as incurred. Progress Payments Progress payments relate to both receivables and inventories and represent cash collected from government-related contracts whereby the governments have a legal right of offset related to the receivable or legal title to the work-in-process inventory. Property Property is stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property is generally provided using straight-line methods over the following estimated useful lives: buildings and improvements, 10 - 40 years; machinery and equipment (including internally developed software and other costs associated with the expansion and construction of ARINC's network-related assets), 3 - 15 years; information systems software and hardware, 3 - 10 years; and furniture and fixtures, 5 - 15 years. Depreciation methods and lives are reviewed periodically with any changes recorded on a prospective basis. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized and replaced units are written off. Maintenance and repairs, as well as renewals of minor amounts, are charged to expense in the period incurred. The fair value of liabilities associated with the retirement of property is recorded when there is a legal or contractual requirement to incur such costs and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Upon the initial recognition of a contractual or legal liability for an asset retirement obligation, the Company capitalizes the asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the property by the same amount as the liability. This asset retirement cost is then depreciated over the estimated useful life of the underlying property. The Company did not have any significant asset retirement obligations at September 30, 2015 and 2014 . Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and intangible assets generally result from business acquisitions. The purchase price of the acquisition is assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on fair value. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are allocated to the Company's reporting units based on the Company's integration plans and internal reporting structure. As of September 30, 2015 the Company had six reporting units. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 - 23 years. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. Customer Relationship Up-Front Sales Incentives The Company provides up-front sales incentives prior to delivering products or performing services to certain commercial customers in connection with sales contracts. Up-front sales incentives are recorded as a Customer relationship intangible asset and are amortized using a units-of-delivery method over the period the Company has received a contractually enforceable right related to the incentives, up to 15 years after entry into service. Amortization is based on the Company’s expectation of delivery rates on a program-by-program basis. Amortization begins when the Company starts recognizing revenue as the Company delivers equipment for the program. Up-front sales incentives consisting of cash payments or customer account credits are amortized as a reduction of sales, whereas incentives consisting of free products are amortized as cost of sales. Accrued Customer Incentives Incentives earned by customers based on purchases of Company products or services are recognized as a liability when the related sale is recorded. Incentives consisting of cash payments or customer account credits are recognized as a reduction of sales, while incentives consisting of free products and account credits where the customer's use is restricted to future purchases are recognized as cost of sales. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when management plans to dispose of assets or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is more-likely-than-not unrecoverable. Assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management determines fair value using a discounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. Long-lived assets held for use are reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its remaining useful life. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment with more frequent tests performed if indications of impairment exist. The Company's annual impairment testing date is in the second quarter of each fiscal year. Impairment for intangible assets with indefinite lives exists if the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is potentially impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had six reporting units. Advance Payments from Customers Advance payments from customers represent cash collected from customers in advance of revenue recognition. Capital Leases Assets under capital lease and capital lease obligation are initially measured at the lower of estimated fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments. The present value of minimum lease payments is calculated for payments during the noncancelable lease term using the lower of the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate or the rate implicit in the lease, if known. Capital lease obligation is recorded within Other Liabilities and the related assets are recorded in Property or Other Assets based upon their intended use. Payments are allocated between a reduction of the lease obligation and interest expense using the interest method. Assets under capital lease are depreciated over the noncancelable lease term, ranging from 5 - 15 years, consistent with the Company's depreciation policy. Research and Development The Company performs R&D activities relating to the development of new products and the improvement of existing products. Company-funded R&D programs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of sales. Company-funded R&D expenditures were $272 million , $268 million and $291 million for fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Environmental Liabilities for environmental matters are recorded in the period in which it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the cost can be reasonably estimated. At environmental sites in which more than one potentially responsible party has been identified, the Company records a liability for its estimated allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site as well as an estimated allocable share of costs related to the involvement of insolvent or unidentified parties. At environmental sites in which the Company is the only responsible party, the Company records a liability for the total estimated costs of remediation. Income Taxes Current tax liabilities and assets are based upon an estimate of taxes payable or refundable in the current year for each of the jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax. As part of the determination of its tax liability, management exercises considerable judgment in evaluating tax positions taken by the Company in determining the income tax provision and establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the Income Taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and their respective carrying amounts for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap contracts for the purpose of minimizing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on business transactions and interest rates, respectively. The Company's policy is to execute such instruments with banks the Company believes to be creditworthy and not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes or to manage exposure for net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. These derivative financial instruments do not subject the Company to undue risk as gains and losses on these instruments generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions that are being hedged. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For a derivative that has not been designated as an accounting hedge, the change in fair value is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative that has been designated as an accounting hedge of an existing asset or liability (a fair value hedge), the change in the fair value of both the derivative and underlying asset or liability is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative designated as an accounting hedge of an anticipated transaction (a cash flow hedge), the change in the fair value is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in Accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent the derivative is effective in mitigating the exposure related to the anticipated transaction. The change in the fair value related to the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings. The amount recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company does not exclude any amounts from the measure of effectiveness for both fair value and cash flow hedges. Use of Estimates The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, long-term contracts, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, product warranty cost liabilities, customer incentives, retirement benefits, income taxes, environmental matters, pre-production engineering costs, recoverability of long-lived assets and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period they are determined. Concentration of Risks The Company's products and services are concentrated within the aerospace and defense industries with customers consisting primarily of military and commercial aircraft manufacturers, commercial airlines and the U.S. Government and non-U.S. governments. As a result of this industry focus, the Company's current and future financial performance is largely dependent upon the overall economic conditions within these industries. In particular, the commercial aerospace market has been historically cyclical and subject to downturns during periods of weak economic conditions, which could be prompted or exacerbated by political or other domestic or international events. The defense market may be affected by changes in budget appropriations, procurement policies, political developments both domestically and abroad and other factors. The Company depends to a large degree on U.S. Government spending, as a significant portion of the Company's sales are derived from U.S. Government contracts, both directly and indirectly through subcontracts. The U.S. Government continues to face significant fiscal and economic challenges. To address those challenges, the U.S. Government has implemented various initiatives, including measures to reduce its spending levels pursuant to the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011. The BCA imposes spending caps and certain reductions in security spending over a ten-year period through 2021. These spending caps and reductions, referred to as sequestration, went into effect in March 2013. In December 2013, the Murray-Ryan Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2013 was enacted, raising government discretionary spending limits temporarily for 2014 and 2015. More recently, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 again raised the government discretionary spending limits temporarily for 2016 and 2017, after which the BCA will again be in force. In years when the U.S. Government does not complete its annual budget and appropriations process prior to the beginning of its fiscal year (October 1), government operations are typically funded through a continuing resolution that authorizes agencies of the U.S. Government to continue to operate in the new year, but generally does not authorize new spending initiatives. During periods covered by continuing resolutions (or until the regular appropriation bills are passed), the Company may experience delays by the government in procurement of new or existing products and services which can adversely impact the Company's results of operations and cause variability in the timing of revenue between periods. The government began operations in fiscal year 2016 under a continuing resolution that is set to expire in December 2015. The Company remains confident that our product offerings are well positioned to meet the needs of our government customers in this uncertain environment and the Company continues to enhance our international strategies and make proactive adjustments to the Company's cost structure as necessary. While management believes the Company's product offerings are well positioned to meet the needs of its U.S. Government customers, the impact of sequestration and continuing resolutions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows and on the defense industry in general. In addition to the overall business risks associated with the Company's concentration within the aerospace and defense industries, the Company is also exposed to a concentration of collection risk on credit extended to business jet aircraft manufacturers. At September 30, 2015 , accounts receivable due from business jet aircraft manufacturers were approximately $148 million . The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on the financial condition of all of its customers and maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable based on expected collectability. Although management believes its allowances are adequate, the Company is not able to predict with certainty the changes in the financial stability of its customers. Any material change in the financial status of any one customer or group of customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As of September 30, 2015 , approximately 10 percent of the Company's employees in the U.S. were represented by U.S. collective bargaining agreements, most of which were renewed without disruption in May 2013 and are generally set to expire in 2017 and 2018. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that provides a practical expedient permitting entities with a fiscal year end that does not coincide with a month end to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month end date closest to the fiscal year end. The new standard was early adopted by the Company for each of its defined benefit plans effective for the 2015 fiscal year end with no significant impact to the Company's financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that effectively replaces all current guidance on the topic and expands disclosures regarding revenue. The guidance permits use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The new standard, as amended, is effective for the Company in fiscal 2019, with early adoption permitted in fiscal 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods allowed under the new standard and the effect the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Given the new standard's impact on business processes, systems and internal controls, analysis of the new guidance will likely extend over several future periods. In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that modifies the criteria used to qualify divestitures for classification as discontinued operations and expands disclosures related to disposals of significant components. The amendment will become effective for the Company in fiscal 2016. The amended guidance is expected to decrease the likelihood that future disposals will qualify for discontinued operations treatment, meaning that the results of operations of some future disposals may be reported in continuing operations. Other new accounting standards issued but not effective until after September 30, 2015 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions On August 6, 2015, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Newport News, Virginia-based International Communications Group, Inc. (ICG), a leading provider of satellite-based global voice and data communication products and services for the aviation industry. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $50 million . Additional post-closing consideration of up to $14 million may be paid, contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones. The Company recorded a $12 million liability on the acquisition date for the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is reflected as a non-cash transaction on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in 2015. The Company is in the process of allocating the purchase price and obtaining a valuation for acquired intangible assets and their useful lives. Based on the Company's preliminary allocation of the purchase price, $38 million has been allocated to goodwill and $24 million to intangible assets. All goodwill resulting from the acquisition is tax deductible. The excess purchase price over net assets acquired, including intangible assets, reflects the Company's view that this acquisition will broaden the Company's flight deck and connectivity portfolio. On March 20, 2015, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Pacific Avionics Pty. Limited (Pacific Avionics), a Singapore-based company specializing in technologies used for wireless information distribution, including in-flight entertainment and connectivity. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $24 million . In the fourth quarter of 2015, the purchase price allocation was finalized with $10 million allocated to intangible assets and $15 million to goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The excess purchase price over net assets acquired, including intangible assets, reflects the Company's view that this acquisition will further enhance the Company's cabin products and information management services portfolios. The ICG and Pacific Avionics acquisitions are included within the Commercial Systems segment, and the results of operations for ICG and Pacific Avionics have been included in the Company's operating results for the periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates. Pro-forma results of operations have not been presented for these acquisitions as the effect of the acquisitions are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations. On December 23, 2013, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock and voting interests of Radio Holdings, Inc., the holding company of ARINC, a leading global provider of air-to-ground data and voice communication services. ARINC develops and operates communications and information processing systems and provides systems engineering and integration solutions to five key industries: commercial aviation, business aviation, airports, rail and nuclear security. Combining ARINC's communication networks and services with the Company's onboard aircraft information systems strengthens the Company's ability to deliver enhanced connectivity to aircraft operators worldwide. The ARINC purchase price was $1.405 billion , net of cash acquired and net of $10 million in cash received by the Company in June 2014 from the settlement of various post-closing matters, including adjustments for changes in working capital. As discussed in Note 10, the Company used proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and commercial paper to finance the cash purchase price. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date: (in millions) December 23, 2013 Restricted Cash (1) $ 61 Receivables and Other current assets 216 Building held for sale (2) 81 Business held for sale (3) 15 Property 49 Intangible Assets 431 Other Assets 11 Total Identifiable Assets Acquired 864 Payable to ARINC option holders (1) (61 ) Current Liabilities (171 ) Liability related to building held for sale (2) (81 ) Liabilities associated with business held for sale (3) (12 ) Long-term deferred income taxes (182 ) Retirement Benefits and Other Long-term Liabilities (39 ) Total Liabilities Assumed (546 ) Net Identifiable Assets Acquired, excluding Goodwill 318 Goodwill 1,087 Net Assets Acquired $ 1,405 (1) Option-holders of ARINC were due approximately $61 million at the transaction closing date. This payment did not clear until December 24, 2013. Therefore the opening balance sheet, which was prepared as of December 23, 2013, includes restricted cash of $61 million and a current liability payable to the ARINC option holders for an equal amount. (2) On March 28, 2014, the Company sold the building which was classified as held for sale at the acquisition date. For more information related to the Building held for sale, see discussion below. (3) Assets and liabilities associated with the Business held for sale relate to ASES, which the Company divested, as detailed in Note 4. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $1.087 billion of goodwill and $431 million of intangible assets with a weighted average useful life of approximately 15 years. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. All of the goodwill is included in the Company’s Information Management Services segment. The goodwill is primarily a result of revenue synergy opportunities generated by the combination of the Company’s aviation electronics and flight services business with ARINC’s network communication solutions and cost synergies resulting from the consolidation of certain corporate and administrative functions. Goodwill also results from the workforce acquired with the business. See Note 23 for additional information relating to the Information Management Services segment. ARINC’s results of operations have been included in the Company's operating results for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on December 23, 2013. During fiscal 2015 and 2014, ARINC contributed sales of $576 million and $421 million , respectively, and net income of $63 million and $31 million , respectively. Building Held For Sale and Liability Related to Building Held for Sale In connection with the acquisition of ARINC, the Company classified $81 million of acquired real estate assets as Building held for sale at the acquisition date, as well as an $81 million liability related to the Building held for sale at the acquisition date. The assets and related liability were recorded at their estimated fair value. In November 2004, ARINC obtained approval from the Department of Labor to contribute these real estate assets to its defined benefit pension plan. In connection with this transaction, ARINC entered into a simultaneous agreement to leaseback the contributed facilities for a period of twenty years, through November 1, 2024. As a result of the related party elements of the transaction, no sale or gain was recognized when ARINC contributed the real estate to its pension plan. Instead, ARINC recognized a deferred gain liability equal to the fair value of the contributed real estate. The increase in deferred gain liability was offset by an equal reduction to pension plan liabilities to recognize the fair value of the contributed real estate in the funded status of the pension plan. The Building held for sale was comprised of the land and buildings of the ARINC corporate headquarters located in Annapolis, Maryland. The related liability represented future rental payment obligations under the leaseback agreement. As of the acquisition date, the real estate assets were being marketed for sale. In March 2014, the assets were sold to an unrelated third party. The net proceeds from the sale of $81 million were remitted directly to the ARINC pension plan, and have been included as a benefit to the funded status of that plan. The sale had no impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Concurrent with the sale of the real estate assets, the Company entered into revised lease agreements with the new owner of the Annapolis, Maryland facilities, extending the lease term for a portion of the facility through March 31, 2029. A portion of the leased assets have been classified as a capital lease resulting in the establishment of capital lease assets and offsetting capital lease obligation on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Transaction-related Expenses The Company incurred transaction costs related to the acquisition of $16 million during the year ended September 30, 2014, of which $13 million is recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining $3 million is recorded within Interest expense and relates to fees incurred in connection with the bridge credit agreement which was entered into in September 2013 to support the financing of the ARINC acquisition. Supplemental Pro-Forma Data The following unaudited supplemental pro-forma data presents consolidated pro-forma information as if the acquisition and related financing had been on October 1, 2012. The unaudited supplemental pro-forma financial information does not reflect the potential realization of revenue synergies or cost savings, nor does it reflect other costs relating to the integration of the two companies. This pro-forma data should not be considered indicative of the results that would have actually occurred if the acquisition and related financing had been consummated on October 1, 2012, nor are they indicative of future results. The unaudited supplemental pro-forma financial information was calculated by combining the Company's results with the stand-alone results of ARINC for the pre-acquisition periods, which were adjusted to account for certain transactions and other costs that would have been incurred during this pre-acquisition period. (in millions, except per share amounts) 2015 (as Reported) 2014 (Pro-forma) 2013 (Pro-forma) Sales $ 5,244 $ 5,085 $ 4,980 Net income attributable to common shareowners from continuing operations $ 694 $ 624 $ 636 Basic earnings per share from continuing operations $ 5.25 $ 4.62 $ 4.66 Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations $ 5.19 $ 4.56 $ 4.61 The unaudited supplemental pro-forma data above excludes the results of ASES, which the Company divested, as detailed in Note 4. The following significant adjustments were made to account for certain transactions and costs that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2012. These adjustments are net of any applicable tax impact and were included to arrive at the pro-forma results above. As the acquisition of ARINC was completed on December 23, 2013, the pro forma adjustments for the year ended September 30, 2014 in the table below include only the required adjustments through December 23, 2013. (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 Increases / (decreases) to pro-forma net income: Net reduction to depreciation resulting from fixed asset purchase accounting adjustments (1) $ — $ 2 $ 8 Advisory, legal and accounting service fees (2) — 21 (21 ) Amortization of acquired ARINC intangible assets, net (3) — (4 ) (15 ) Interest expense incurred on acquisition financing, net (4) — — (9 ) (1) This adjustment captures the net impact to depreciation expense resulting from various purchase accounting adjustments to fixed assets (2) This adjustment reflects the elimination of transaction-related fees incurred by ARINC and Rockwell Collins in connection with the acquisition and assumes all of the fees were incurred during the first quarter of 2013 (3) This adjustment eliminates amortization of the historical ARINC intangible assets and replaces it with the new amortization for the acquired intangible assets (4) This adjustment reflects the addition of interest expense for the debt incurred by Rockwell Collins to finance the ARINC acquisition, net of interest expense that was eliminated for the historical ARINC debt that was repaid at the acquisition date. The adjustment also reflects the elimination of interest expense incurred by Rockwell Collins for the bridge loan financing which was assumed to not be required for purposes of the pro-forma periods presented |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Discontinued Operations and Divestitures | Discontinued Operations and Divestitures On March 10, 2015, the Company sold ARINC's ASES business, which provides military aircraft integration and modifications, maintenance and logistics and support, to align with the Company's long-term primary business strategies. The sale price was $3 million , and additional post-closing consideration of up to $4 million may be received contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue growth by ASES. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $5 million ( $3 million after-tax) related to the ASES divestiture. The operating results of ASES, including the loss realized on the disposition, have been included within discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods subsequent to the acquisition of ARINC. As of September 30, 2014, the ASES business was classified within current assets and current liabilities as a business held-for-sale in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. On July 25, 2014, the Company sold its satellite communication systems business formerly known as Datapath. The sales price, which was subject to post-closing adjustments for working capital and other adjustments, was $10 million . The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $12 million ( $2 million after-tax) related to the divestiture of the Datapath business. The high effective tax rate is primarily attributable to differences in the treatment of goodwill for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The operating results of Datapath, including the loss realized on the disposition, have been included in discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented. The Datapath business was formerly included in the Government Systems segment. The divestiture of this business is part of the Company's strategy to reshape the Government Systems segment to align with the changing dynamics of the defense environment and focus on opportunities in addressed markets for the Company's core products and solutions. Results of discontinued operations are as follows: Year Ended September 30 (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 Sales $ 18 $ 94 $ 136 Income (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes (13 ) (29 ) 3 Income tax benefit (expense) from discontinued operations 5 15 (1 ) During the first quarter of 2014, the Company sold its subsidiary, Kaiser Optical Systems, Inc. (KOSI), a supplier of spectrographic instrumentation and applied holographic technology, to Endress+Hauser. The sale price, after post-closing adjustments for changes in working capital, was $23 million . This resulted in a pretax gain of $10 million , which was included in Other income, net. The divestiture of this business is part of the Company's strategy to reshape the Government Systems segment to align with the changing dynamics of the defense environment and focus on opportunities in addressed markets for the Company's core products and solutions. As part of the divestiture agreement, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement with the buyer that allows the Company to continue purchasing certain products from KOSI after completion of the sale. As a result of this continuing involvement, the KOSI divestiture did not qualify for classification as a discontinued operation. |

Amortization expense for pre-production engineering costs for 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was $47 million , $36 million and $25 million , respectively. As of September 30, 2015 , the weighted average amortization period remaining for pre-production engineering costs included in Inventories, net was approximately 11 years. Anticipated annual amortization expense for pre-production engineering costs is as follows: (in millions) 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Thereafter Anticipated amortization expense for pre-production engineering costs (1) $ 55 $ 81 $ 106 $ 128 $ 128 $ 487 (1) On October 29, 2015, Bombardier announced the cancellation of the Learjet 85 program. Pre-production engineering costs associated with the Learjet 85 program have been excluded from anticipated amortization expense, as these costs are expected to be recovered through consideration received from Bombardier pursuant to contractual guarantees and not amortized against future hardware deliveries. In accordance with industry practice, inventories include amounts which are not expected to be realized within one year. These amounts primarily relate to pre-production engineering costs and life-time-buy inventory not expected to be realized within one year of $1.006 billion and $904 million at September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Life-time-buy inventory is inventory that is typically no longer produced by the Company's vendors but for which multiple years of supply are purchased in order to meet production and service requirements over the life span of a product. |

This segment combines the retained portion of the acquired ARINC business with the Company's existing flight services business, which had previously been included in the Commercial Systems segment. As a result of the reorganization of the Company's segments, a portion of the goodwill from the Commercial Systems segment was reclassified to the Information Management Services segment using a fair value allocation method. The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the second quarter of each fiscal year, or at any time there is an indication goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles are more-likely-than-not impaired, commonly referred to as triggering events. There have been no such triggering events during any of the periods presented, and the Company's 2015 , 2014 and 2013 impairment tests resulted in no impairment.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | Debt Commercial Paper Program Under the Company’s commercial paper program, the Company may sell up to $1 billion face amount of unsecured short-term promissory notes in the commercial paper market. The commercial paper notes may bear interest or may be sold at a discount, and have a maturity of not more than 364 days from the time of issuance. The commercial paper program is supported by the Company's $ 1 billion five-year revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2015 , short-term commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $448 million with a weighted-average interest rate and maturity period of 0.52 percent and 25 days, respectively. At September 30, 2014 , short term commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $504 million with a weighted-average interest rate and maturity period of 0.32 percent and 29 days , respectively. Revolving Credit Facilities On September 24, 2013, the Company entered into credit agreements to ensure adequate commercial paper borrowing capacity in anticipation of the Company's then pending ARINC acquisition and to meet other short-term cash requirements. The Company closed on these revolving credit facilities on December 23, 2013, concurrent with the ARINC acquisition closing date. These credit facilities consist of a five-year $1 billion credit facility that expires in December 2018 and a 364-day $200 million credit facility that expired in December 2014 and was not renewed. These agreements replaced the prior $850 million revolving credit facility that was terminated concurrently upon the closing of these agreements. The credit facilities include one financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio of not greater than 60 percent . The ratio excludes the equity impact on accumulated other comprehensive loss related to defined benefit retirement plans. The ratio was 38 percent as of September 30, 2015 . The credit facilities also contain covenants that require the Company to satisfy certain conditions in order to incur debt secured by liens, engage in sale/leaseback transactions or merge or consolidate with another entity. Borrowings under these credit facilities bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a variable margin based on the Company’s unsecured long-term debt rating or, at the Company’s option, rates determined by competitive bid. At September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 , there were no outstanding borrowings under these revolving credit facilities. In addition, short-term credit facilities available to non-U.S. subsidiaries amounted to $39 million as of September 30, 2015 , of which $11 million was utilized to support commitments in the form of commercial letters of credit. At September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 , there were no short-term borrowings outstanding under the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries’ credit facilities. At September 30, 2015 and 2014 , there were no significant commitment fees or compensating balance requirements under any of the Company’s credit facilities.

The 2016 Notes bear annual interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.35 percent . As of September 30, 2015 the quarterly interest rate was 0.68 percent . The rate resets quarterly. The net proceeds to the Company from the 2016 Notes, after deducting $1 million of debt issuance costs, were $299 million . On December 16, 2013, the Company issued $400 million of 3.7 percent fixed rate unsecured debt due December 15, 2023 (the 2023 Notes). The net proceeds to the Company from the 2023 Notes, after deducting a $1 million discount and $3 million of debt issuance costs, were $396 million . In March 2014, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts which effectively converted $200 million of the 2023 Notes to floating rate debt based on one-month LIBOR plus 0.94 percent . See Notes 16 and 17 for additional information relating to the interest rate swap contracts.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Retirement Benefits | Retirement Benefits The Company sponsors defined benefit pension (Pension Benefits) and other postretirement (Other Retirement Benefits) plans which provide monthly pension and other benefits to eligible employees upon retirement. The Company early adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2015-04 (see Note 2), and used September 30, 2015 as the date closest to its fiscal year end to value plan assets of all its defined benefit plans. There was no material impact of adoption of this accounting standard on the fair value of plan assets. Pension Benefits The Company historically provided pension benefits to most of the Company's U.S. employees in the form of non-contributory, defined benefit plans that are considered qualified plans under applicable laws. The benefits provided under these plans for salaried employees are generally based on years of service and average compensation. The benefits provided under these plans for hourly employees are generally based on specified benefit amounts and years of service. In addition, the Company sponsors an unfunded non-qualified defined benefit plan for certain employees. In June 2003, the Company amended its U.S. qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans to discontinue benefit accruals for salary increases and services rendered after September 30, 2006. These changes impacted all of the Company's domestic pension plans for all salaried and hourly employees who were not covered by collective bargaining agreements. Concurrently, the Company supplemented its existing defined contribution savings plan effective October 1, 2006 to include an additional Company contribution. The Company also maintains five defined benefit pension plans in countries outside of the U.S., two of which are unfunded. Other Retirement Benefits Other retirement benefits consist of retiree health care and life insurance benefits that are provided to substantially all of the Company's U.S. employees hired before October 1, 2006 and their beneficiaries. Employees generally become eligible to receive these benefits if they retire after age 55 with at least 10 years of service. Most plans are contributory with retiree contributions generally based upon years of service and adjusted annually by the Company. Retiree medical plans pay a stated percentage of expenses reduced by deductibles and other coverage. The amount the Company will contribute toward retiree medical coverage for most participants is fixed. Additional premium contributions will be required from participants for all costs in excess of the Company's fixed contribution amount. Retiree life insurance plans provide coverage at a flat dollar amount or as a multiple of salary. With the exception of certain bargaining unit plans, Other Retirement Benefits are funded as expenses are incurred. ARINC Pension Plan ARINC sponsors two primary pension sub-plans: one for union employees and one for non-union employees. Effective April 1, 2006, ARINC froze the majority of its pension plans for employees not covered by bargaining unit agreements. As a result, most of the non-union participants in the ARINC pension plans are no longer accruing contribution credits. The plans generally allow for employees who retire, or terminate, to elect to receive their pension benefits in a lump sum and certain existing participants in the plans continue to earn vesting rights and accrue interest on their account balance at rates established by the plans. ARINC Other Retirement Benefits ARINC also provides postretirement health coverage for many of its current and former employees and postretirement life insurance benefits for certain retirees. These benefits vary by employment status, age, service and salary level at retirement. Components of Expense (Income) The components of expense (income) for Pension Benefits and Other Retirement Benefits are summarized below: Pension Benefits Other Retirement Benefits (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 2015 2014 2013 Service cost $ 12 $ 10 $ 10 $ 3 $ 3 $ 4 Interest cost 155 168 139 7 9 8 Expected return on plan assets (242 ) (228 ) (203 ) (1 ) (1 ) (1 ) Amortization: Prior service credit (3 ) (12 ) (18 ) (5 ) (9 ) (8 ) Net actuarial loss 72 72 79 7 8 12 Net benefit expense (income) $ (6 ) $ 10 $ 7 $ 11 $ 10 $ 15 Funded Status and Net Liability The Company recognizes the unfunded status of defined benefit retirement plans on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as Retirement Benefits. The current portion of the liability is the amount by which the actuarial present value of benefits included in the benefit obligation payable in the next twelve months exceeds the fair value of the plan assets and is reflected in Compensation and benefits in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The following table reconciles the projected benefit obligations (PBO), plan assets, funded status and net liability for the Company's Pension Benefits and the Other Retirement Benefits. Pension Benefits Other Retirement Benefits (in millions) 2015 2014 2015 2014 PBO at beginning of period $ 4,086 $ 3,660 $ 213 $ 214 Service cost 12 10 3 3 Interest cost 155 168 7 9 Discount rate and other assumption changes 315 228 6 7 Actuarial losses (gains) (52 ) — 7 (13 ) Plan participant contributions — — 3 3 Benefits paid (330 ) (211 ) (18 ) (18 ) ARINC acquisition — 274 — 8 Settlements — (36 ) — — Other (19 ) (7 ) — — PBO at end of period 4,167 4,086 221 213 Plan assets at beginning of period 3,185 2,779 18 14 Actual return on plan assets (16 ) 304 — 1 Company contributions 69 75 16 18 Plan participant contributions — — 3 3 Benefits paid (330 ) (211 ) (18 ) (18 ) ARINC acquisition — 273 — — Settlements — (36 ) — — Other (6 ) 1 — — Plan assets at end of period 2,902 3,185 19 18 Funded status of plans $ (1,265 ) $ (901 ) $ (202 ) $ (195 ) Funded status consists of: Retirement benefits liability $ (1,264 ) $ (901 ) $ (202 ) $ (195 ) Compensation and benefits liability (11 ) (11 ) — — Other assets 10 11 — — Net liability $ (1,265 ) $ (901 ) $ (202 ) $ (195 ) During 2015, the Company made $121 million of benefit payments for terminated vested lump sum payouts to certain participants. In October 2014, the Society of Actuaries published a new set of mortality tables (RP-2014) and a new mortality improvement scale (MP-2014), which update life expectancy assumptions. The newly published tables generally reflect longer life expectancy than was projected by past tables. For the Company's 2015 year-end pension liability valuation, the Company used the RP-2014 tables with an adjustment for plan experience and the MP-2014 improvement scale adjusted to reflect convergence to an ultimate annual rate of mortality improvement of 0.75 percent by 2022. These changes resulted in an increase to the 2015 projected pension benefit obligation of $310 million . The Company's non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans represented 5 percent of the total PBO at September 30, 2015 and 2014 . The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $4.153 billion and $4.068 billion at September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Other Comprehensive Loss The following table summarizes the amounts included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss before tax related to retirement benefits as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 and changes recognized in Other comprehensive loss before tax for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 : Pension Benefits Other Retirement Benefits (in millions) Prior Service Cost (Credit) Net Actuarial Loss Prior Service Cost (Credit) Net Actuarial Loss Balance at September 30, 2013 $ (6 ) $ 1,958 $ (18 ) $ 113 Current year net actuarial (gain)/loss — 149 — (6 ) Amortization of prior service cost 12 — 9 — Amortization of actuarial loss — (72 ) — (8 ) Balance at September 30, 2014 6 2,035 (9 ) 99 Current year net actuarial loss — 515 — 14 Amortization of prior service cost 3 — 5 — Amortization of actuarial loss — (72 ) — (7 ) Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 9 $ 2,478 $ (4 ) $ 106 The estimated amounts that will be amortized from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into expense (income) for Pension Benefits and Other Retirement Benefits during the year ending September 30, 2016 are as follows: (in millions) Pension Benefits Other Retirement Benefits Total Prior service cost $ (1 ) $ (1 ) $ (2 ) Net actuarial loss 78 8 86 Total $ 77 $ 7 $ 84 Actuarial Assumptions The following table presents the significant assumptions used in determining the benefit obligations: Pension Benefits Other Retirement Benefits U.S. Non-U.S. U.S. 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 Discount rate 3.96 % 3.96 % 2.94 % 3.15 % 3.73 % 3.70 % Compensation increase rate 4.00 % 4.00 % 3.04 % 3.48 % 4.00 % 4.00 % Discount rates used to determine the benefit obligations are determined by using a weighted average of market-observed yields for high quality fixed income securities that correspond to the payment of benefits. The Company's U.S. qualified and non-qualified plans were amended to discontinue benefit accruals for salary increases and services rendered after September 30, 2006 and after April 1, 2006 for ARINC. In the U.S., certain plans associated with collective bargaining agreements continue to accrue benefits, and only the ARINC plans are impacted by increases in compensation as the benefit formula is dependent on salary increases. Significant assumptions used in determining the net benefit expense (income) are as follows: Pension Benefits Other Retirement Benefits U.S. Non-U.S. U.S. 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 Discount rate 3.96 % 4.51 % 3.15 % 3.93 % 3.70 % 4.14 % Expected long-term return on plan assets 8.23 % 8.23 % 6.70 % 8.17 % 8.25 % 8.25 % Compensation increase rate 4.00 % 4.00 % 3.48 % 3.45 % 4.00 % 4.00 % Health care cost gross trend rate (1) — — — — 7.48 % 7.97 % Ultimate trend rate (1) — — — — 4.98 % 4.98 % Year that trend reaches ultimate rate (1) — — — — 2019 2019 (1) Due to the effect of the fixed Company contribution, increasing or decreasing the health care cost trend rate by one percentage point would not have a significant impact on the Company's cost of providing Other Retirement Benefits. Expected long-term return on plan assets for each year presented is based on both historical long-term actual and expected future investment returns considering the current investment mix of plan assets. The Company uses a market-related value of plan assets reflecting changes in the fair value of plan assets over a five-year period. The Company amortizes actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation (the corridor) on a straight-line basis over the expected future lifetime of inactive participants, which was approximately 26 years years at September 30, 2015, as almost all of the plan's participants are considered inactive. Prior service costs resulting from plan amendments are amortized in equal annual amounts over the average remaining service period of affected active participants or over the remaining life expectancy of affected retired participants. Plan Assets Total plan assets for Pension Benefits and Other Retirement Benefits as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $2.921 billion and $3.203 billion , respectively. The Company has established investment objectives that seek to preserve and maximize the amount of plan assets available to pay plan benefits. These objectives are achieved through investment guidelines requiring diversification and allocation strategies designed to maximize the long-term returns on plan assets while maintaining a prudent level of investment risk. These investment strategies are implemented using actively managed and indexed assets. Target and actual asset allocations as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: Target Mix 2015 2014 Equities 40% - 70% 54 % 55 % Fixed income 25% - 60% 44 % 42 % Alternative investments 0% - 15% 0 % 0 % Cash 0% - 5% 2 % 3 % Alternative investments may include real estate, hedge funds, venture capital and private equity. There were no plan assets invested in the securities of the Company as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 or at any time during the years then ended. Target and actual asset allocations are periodically rebalanced between asset classes in order to mitigate investment risk and maintain asset classes within target allocations. The following table presents the fair value of the Company's pension plans' assets as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 , by asset category segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 16: September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 Asset category (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Equity securities: U.S. equity $ 533 $ 362 $ — $ 895 $ 670 $ 359 $ — $ 1,029 Non-U.S. equity 575 93 — 668 630 97 — 727 Fixed income securities: Corporate — 1,088 — 1,088 — 1,103 — 1,103 U.S. government 65 83 — 148 52 91 — 143 Emerging market — — — — — 50 — 50 Mortgage and asset-backed — 2 — 2 — 3 — 3 Other — 40 3 43 — 42 3 45 Cash and cash equivalents — 55 — 55 — 81 — 81 Sub-total 1,173 1,723 3 2,899 1,352 1,826 3 3,181 Net receivables related to investment transactions 3 4 Total $ 2,902 $ 3,185 The following table presents the fair value of the Company's other retirement benefits plan's assets as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 , by asset category segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 16: September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 Asset category (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Equity securities: U.S. equity $ 7 $ — $ — $ 7 $ 7 $ — $ — $ 7 Fixed income securities: Corporate — 2 — 2 — 2 — 2 U.S. government 2 1 — 3 2 1 — 3 Mortgage and asset-backed — 1 — 1 — 1 — 1 Cash and cash equivalents — 6 — 6 — 5 — 5 Total $ 9 $ 10 $ — $ 19 $ 9 $ 9 $ — $ 18 Valuation Techniques Level 1 assets for the pension plans and other retirement benefits plan are primarily comprised of equity and fixed income securities. Level 1 equity securities are actively traded on U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and are valued using the market approach at quoted market prices on the measurement date. Level 1 fixed income securities are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 equity securities contain equity funds that hold investments with values based on quoted market prices, but for which the funds are not valued on a quoted market basis. Level 2 fixed income securities are primarily valued using pricing models that use observable market data or bids provided by independent investment brokerage firms. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash which is used to pay benefits and cash invested in a short-term investment fund that holds securities with values based on quoted market prices, but for which the funds are not valued on a quoted market basis. As such, the cash and cash equivalents in our pension and other retirement plan assets are classified as Level 2 in the tables above. The Level 3 assets represent general insurance company contracts in the ARINC pension plans and are not significant. As described in Note 16, the fair value of a Level 3 asset is derived from unobservable inputs that are based on the Company's own assumptions. Contributions For the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company made contributions to its pension plans as follows: (in millions) 2015 2014 Contributions to U.S. qualified plan $ 55 $ 55 Contributions to U.S. non-qualified plan 9 14 Contributions to non-U.S. plans 5 6 Total $ 69 $ 75 The Company’s objective with respect to the funding of its pension plans is to provide adequate assets for the payment of future benefits. Pursuant to this objective, the Company will fund its pension plans as required by governmental regulations and may consider discretionary contributions as conditions warrant. In October 2015, the Company voluntarily contributed $ 55 million to its U.S. qualified pension plan, subsequent to its 2015 fiscal year end. There is no minimum statutory funding requirement for 2016 and the Company does not currently expect to make any additional discretionary contributions during 2016 to this plan. Furthermore, the Company is not required to make, and does not intend to make, any contributions to the ARINC pension plans during 2016. Any additional future contributions necessary to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements are dependent upon actual plan asset returns, interest rates and actuarial assumptions. Contributions to the non-U.S. plans and the U.S. non-qualified plan are expected to total $13 million in 2016 . Contributions to the Company's other postretirement plans are expected to total $15 million in 2016 . The Company participates in a multi-employer arrangement that provides postretirement benefits other than pension benefits. This arrangement provides medical benefits to certain bargaining unit active employees and retirees and their dependents. Contributions to this multi-employer arrangement were $1 million in 2015, $0 million in 2014 and $0 million in 2013. Benefit Payments The following table reflects estimated benefit payments to be made to eligible participants for each of the next five years and the following five years in the aggregate: (in millions) Pension Benefits Other Retirement Benefits 2016 $ 224 $ 15 2017 227 15 2018 232 17 2019 238 17 2020 242 17 2021 - 2025 1,248 78 Estimated benefit payments for Other Retirement Benefits in the table above are shown net of plan participant contributions and therefore reflect the Company's portion only. Substantially all of the Pension Benefit payments relate to the Company's U.S. qualified funded plans which are paid from the pension trust. Defined Contribution Savings Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company sponsors defined contribution savings plans that are available to the majority of its employees. The plans allow employees to contribute a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis in accordance with specified guidelines. For most plans, the Company matches a percentage of employee contributions using common stock of the Company up to certain limits. Employees may transfer at any time all or a portion of their balance in Company common stock to any of the other investment options offered within the plans. The Company is authorized to issue 16.5 million shares under the defined contribution savings plans, of which 1.9 million shares are available for future contributions at September 30, 2015 . Additionally, the Company's defined contribution savings plan includes a cash contribution based on an employee's age and service. ARINC has a defined contribution savings plan that is available to most of its employees. The plan allows employees to contribute a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis in accordance with specified guidelines. The Company makes certain matching cash contributions to the plan, which totaled $4 million for 2015. The Company's expense related to the defined contribution savings plans for 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was as follows: 2015 2014 2013 (in millions) Shares Expense Shares Expense Shares Expense Contribution in shares: Defined contribution savings plans 0.4 $ 39 0.5 $ 40 0.7 $ 43 Contribution in cash: Retirement contributions 47 50 42 Total $ 86 $ 90 $ 85 The Company also offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) which allows employees to have their base compensation withheld to purchase the Company's common stock each month at 95 percent of the fair market value on the last day of the month. During 2013, the Company retired the legacy ESPP and replaced it with a new ESPP that is substantially the same. As of September 30, 2015, 2.6 million shares are available for future purchase. The ESPP is considered a non-compensatory plan and accordingly no compensation expense is recorded in connection with this benefit. During 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , 0.1 million , 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, of Company common stock were issued to employees at a value of $11 million , $10 million and $10 million for the respective periods. |

Stock Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share Abstract | |
Stock-Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share | Stock-Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share Stock-Based Compensation Program Description In February 2015, the Company's shareholders approved the Company's 2015 Long-Term Incentives Plan (2015 Plan), replacing the 2006 Long Term Incentives Plan (2006 Plan). Under the 2015 Plan, up to 11 million shares of common stock may be issued by the Company as non-qualified options, performance units, performance shares, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and restricted stock units. Each share issued pursuant to an award of restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units counts as 3.55 shares against the authorized limit. Shares available for future grant or payment under these plans were 10.9 million at September 30, 2015 . All remaining shares not issued under the 2006 plan are void as awards will no longer be granted under the 2006 Plan and no shares were transfered from the 2006 Plan to the 2015 Plan. Options to purchase common stock of the Company have been granted under various incentive plans to directors, officers and other key employees. All of the Company's stock-based incentive plans require options to be granted at prices equal to or above the fair market value of the common stock on the dates the options are granted. The plans provide that the option price for certain options granted under the plans may be paid by the employee in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. Stock options generally expire 10 years from the date they are granted and generally vest ratably over three years. The Company utilizes performance shares, restricted stock and restricted stock units that generally cliff vest at the end of three years. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is estimated using the closing share price on the day of grant. The number of performance shares that will ultimately be issued is based on achievement of performance targets over a three-year period that considers cumulative sales growth and return on sales with an additional potential adjustment up or down depending on the Company's total return to shareowners compared to a group of peer companies. The fair value of performance shares is estimated using a Monte Carlo model that considers the likelihood of a payout adjustment for the total shareowner return in comparison to the peer group. Up to 240 percent of the performance shares the Company grants can be earned if maximum performance is achieved. The Company's stock-based compensation awards are designed to align management's interests with those of the Company's shareowners and to reward outstanding Company performance. The Company has an ongoing share repurchase plan and expects to satisfy stock option exercises and stock award issuances from treasury stock. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Total stock-based compensation expense and related income tax benefit included within the Consolidated Statement of Operations for 2015 , 2014 and 2013 is as follows: (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 Stock-based compensation expense included in: Product cost of sales $ 7 $ 7 $ 6 Selling, general and administrative expenses 17 17 14 Total $ 24 $ 24 $ 20 Income tax benefit $ 8 $ 8 $ 7 General Option Information The following summarizes the activity of the Company's stock options for 2015 : Shares (in thousands) Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Life (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Outstanding at September 30, 2014 4,320 $ 54.18 Granted 562 83.81 Exercised (1,094 ) 46.02 Forfeited or expired (89 ) 57.06 Outstanding at September 30, 2015 3,699 $ 61.02 5.9 $ 79 Vested or expected to vest (1) 3,688 $ 60.97 5.8 $ 79 Exercisable at September 30, 2015 2,548 $ 55.01 4.7 $ 69 (1) Represents outstanding options reduced by expected forfeitures 2015 2014 2013 Weighted-average fair value per share of options granted $ 19.59 $ 18.60 $ 12.81 Intrinsic value of options exercised (in millions) (2) $ 48 $ 26 $ 43 (2) Represents the amount by which the stock price exceeded the exercise price of the options on the date of the exercise The total fair value of options vested was $10 million , $10 million and $10 million during the years ended September 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense for options that have not vested as of September 30, 2015 is $8 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years. Stock Option Fair Value Information The Company's determination of the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These assumptions include, but are not limited to: the Company's expected stock price volatility, the projected employee stock option exercise term, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the stock options. The fair value of each option granted by the Company was estimated using a binomial lattice pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions: 2015 Grants 2014 Grants 2013 Grants Risk-free interest rate 0.5% - 2.6% 0.3% - 3.0% 0.3% - 2.9% Expected dividend yield 1.6 % 1.9 % 2.0 % Expected volatility 24.0 % 28.0 % 27.0 % Expected life 7 years 7 years 8 years The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The binomial lattice model assumes that employees' exercise behavior is a function of the option's remaining expected life and the extent to which the option is in-the-money. The binomial lattice model estimates the probability of exercise as a function of these two variables based on the entire history of exercises and forfeitures on all past option grants made by the Company. Performance Shares, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Information The following summarizes the Company's performance shares, restricted stock and restricted stock units for 2015 : Performance Shares Restricted Stock Restricted Stock Units (shares in thousands) Shares Weighted Grant Date Fair Value Shares Weighted Grant Date Fair Value Shares Weighted Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested at September 30, 2014 478 $ 60.46 23 $ 30.24 331 $ 58.78 Granted 131 82.76 — — 72 84.63 Vested (158 ) 55.01 — — (57 ) 55.01 Forfeited (13 ) 66.78 — — (6 ) 67.38 Nonvested at September 30, 2015 438 $ 68.92 23 $ 30.24 340 $ 64.34 (in millions) Performance Shares Restricted Stock Restricted Stock Units Total unrecognized compensation costs at September 30, 2015 $ 11 $ — $ 5 Weighted-average life remaining at September 30, 2015, in years 0.9 0 1.0 Weighted-average fair value per share granted in 2014 $ 71.63 $ — $ 72.42 Weighted-average fair value per share granted in 2013 $ 55.69 $ — $ 56.04 The maximum number of shares of common stock that can be issued in respect of performance shares granted in 2015 based on the achievement of performance targets for 2015 through 2017 is approximately 309,000 . The maximum number of shares of common stock that can be issued in respect of performance shares granted in 2014 based on the achievement of performance targets for 2014 through 2016 is approximately 340,000 . For purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of common stock that can be issued with respect to the performance shares granted in 2014 and 2015, the maximums have been updated to reflect reductions arising as a result of terminations and retirements. The number of shares of common stock that will be issued in respect of performance shares granted in 2013 based on the achievement of performance targets for 2013 through 2015 is approximately 129,000 . Earnings Per Share and Diluted Share Equivalents The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows: (in millions, except per share amounts) 2015 2014 2013 Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share: Income from continuing operations $ 694 $ 618 $ 630 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes (8 ) (14 ) 2 Net income $ 686 $ 604 $ 632 Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share – weighted average common shares 132.3 135.1 136.5 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 1.0 1.2 1.2 Performance shares, restricted stock and restricted stock units 0.4 0.4 0.4 Dilutive potential common shares 1.4 1.6 1.6 Denominator for diluted earnings per share – adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversion 133.7 136.7 138.1 Earnings (loss) per share: Basic Continuing operations $ 5.25 $ 4.57 $ 4.62 Discontinued operations (0.06 ) (0.10 ) 0.01 Basic earnings per share $ 5.19 $ 4.47 $ 4.63 Diluted Continuing operations $ 5.19 $ 4.52 $ 4.56 Discontinued operations (0.06 ) (0.10 ) 0.02 Diluted earnings per share $ 5.13 $ 4.42 $ 4.58 The average outstanding diluted shares calculation excludes options with an exercise price that exceeds the average market price of shares during the period. Stock options excluded from the average outstanding diluted shares calculation were 0.0 million , 0.0 million and 0.4 million in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. |

Significant factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include: (a) the historical operating results of the Company ( $1.509 billion of U.S. taxable income over the past three years), (b) expectations of future earnings, (c) the extended period of time over which the retirement benefit liabilities will be paid and (d) the expectations of future capital gains. Changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets are summarized as follows: September 30 (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 Balance at beginning of year $ 43 $ 11 $ 19 Charged to costs and expenses — 32 — Deductions (1 ) — (8 ) Balance at September 30 $ 42 $ 43 $ 11 The effective income tax rate from continuing operations differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate as detailed below: 2015 2014 2013 Statutory tax rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Foreign rate differential (1.0 ) (1.1 ) (1.2 ) State and local income taxes 1.2 1.3 1.3 Research and development credit (3.2 ) (1.1 ) (5.1 ) Domestic manufacturing deduction (2.0 ) (1.7 ) (2.0 ) Tax settlements (1.6 ) (0.9 ) (0.1 ) Other (0.5 ) (1.6 ) (0.7 ) Effective income tax rate 27.9 % 29.9 % 27.2 % Income tax expense from continuing operations was calculated based on the following components of income before income taxes: (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 U.S. income $ 835 $ 754 $ 755 Non-U.S. income 127 128 110 Total $ 962 $ 882 $ 865 The Company's U.S. Federal income tax returns for the tax year ended September 30, 2011 and prior years have been audited by the IRS and are closed to further adjustments by the IRS. The IRS is currently auditing the Company's tax returns for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2013. ARINC's U.S. Federal income tax returns are currently under audit by the IRS for the tax years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2012 and are closed to further adjustments by the IRS for all tax years ended December 31, 2008 and prior. The Company and ARINC are also currently under audit in various U.S. states and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The U.S. states and non-U.S. jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from 3 to 5 years. The Company believes it has adequately provided for any tax adjustments that may result from the various audits. No provision has been made as of September 30, 2015 for U.S. federal or state, or additional non-U.S. income taxes related to approximately $539 million of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries which have been or are intended to be permanently reinvested. Thus, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on the undistributed earnings. The Company had net income tax payments of $182 million , $182 million and $106 million in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended September 30 is as follows: (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 Beginning balance $ 48 $ 56 $ 42 Additions for tax positions related to the current year 8 13 15 Additions for tax positions of prior years 6 1 3 Additions for tax positions related to acquisitions — 8 — Reductions for tax positions of prior years (17 ) (17 ) (1 ) Reductions for tax positions of prior years related to lapse of statute of limitations (1 ) (2 ) (2 ) Reductions for tax positions related to settlements with taxing authorities (5 ) (11 ) (1 ) Ending balance $ 39 $ 48 $ 56 The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate were $11 million , $25 million and $34 million as of September 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the range of $0 to $13 million based on the outcome of tax examinations or as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. The Company includes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The total amount of interest and penalties recognized within Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $1 million and $1 million as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties recorded as an expense or (income) within Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations was $0 million , $(1) million and $0 million for the years ended September 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The FASB’s guidance classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 are as follows: September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (in millions) Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value Asset (Liability) Fair Value Asset (Liability) Deferred compensation plan investments Level 1 $ 50 $ 50 Interest rate swap assets Level 2 34 18 Foreign currency forward exchange contract assets Level 2 7 6 Foreign currency forward exchange contract liabilities Level 2 (11 ) (9 ) Contingent consideration for ICG acquisition Level 3 (12 ) — There were no transfers between Levels of the fair value hierarchy during 2015 or 2014 . In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of assets resulting from certain divestitures. See Note 3 for further discussion on the fair value of assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions. See Note 4 for further discussion on the fair value of assets and liabilities associated with divestitures. Valuation Techniques The deferred compensation plan investments consist of investments in marketable securities (primarily mutual funds) and the fair value is determined using the market approach based on quoted market prices of identical assets in active markets. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using the market approach and is calculated by a pricing model with observable market inputs. The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is determined using the market approach and is calculated as the value of the quoted forward currency exchange rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The contingent consideration for the ICG acquisition represents the estimated fair value of post-closing consideration owed to the sellers associated with the acquisition. This is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and the fair value is determined using a probability-weighted approach. The liability recorded was derived from the estimated probability that certain contingent payment milestones will be met in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. As of September 30, 2015 , there has not been any impact to the fair value of derivative liabilities due to the Company's own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any impact to the fair value of derivative assets based on the Company's evaluation of counterparties' credit risks. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: Asset (Liability) September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (in millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 252 $ 252 $ 323 $ 323 Short-term debt (448 ) (448 ) (504 ) (504 ) Long-term debt (1,646 ) (1,750 ) (1,645 ) (1,747 ) The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and short-term debt approximates their carrying value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. These items are within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information for all long-term debt is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these financial instruments was based on current market interest rates and estimates of current market conditions for instruments with similar terms, maturities and degree of risk. The carrying amount and fair value of short-term and long-term debt excludes the interest rate swaps fair value adjustment. These fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments Interest Rate Swaps The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt, which over time should moderate the costs of debt financing. To meet this objective, the Company may use financial instruments in the form of interest rate swaps. In January 2010, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts which expire on July 15, 2019 and effectively converted $150 million of the 2019 Notes to floating rate debt based on six-month LIBOR plus 1.235 percent . In June 2015, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts which expire on July 15, 2019 and effectively converted the remaining $150 million of the 2019 Notes to floating rate debt based on three-month LIBOR plus 3.56 percent (collectively the 2019 Swaps). In March 2014, the Company entered into three interest rate swap contracts (the 2023 Swaps) which expire on December 15, 2023 and effectively converted $200 million of the 2023 Notes to floating rate debt based on one-month LIBOR plus 0.94 percent . The Company designated the 2019 and 2023 Swaps (the Swaps) as fair value hedges. The Swaps are recorded within Other Assets at a fair value of $34 million , offset by a fair value adjustment to Long-term Debt (Note 10) of $34 million at September 30, 2015 . At September 30, 2014 , the Swaps were recorded within Other Assets at a fair value of $18 million , offset by a fair value adjustment to Long-term Debt (Note 10) of $18 million . Cash payments or receipts between the Company and the counterparties to the Swaps are recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. Forward Starting Interest Rate Swaps In September 2013, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements with combined notional values of $200 million to effectively lock in fixed interest rates on a portion of the long-term debt it incurred in December 2013 to refinance maturing debt and to fund the acquisition of ARINC. In October 2013, the Company entered into an additional $300 million notional value of forward starting interest rate swap agreements. These forward starting interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and were executed to hedge the risk of potentially higher benchmark U.S. Treasury bond yields on long-term debt with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2043 and fixed interest rates ranging between 2.8150 percent and 3.8775 percent . The forward starting interest rate swaps were terminated in December 2013 concurrent with the Company's debt issuance. Upon termination, the forward starting swaps were valued at a net loss of $2 million . This net loss has been deferred within Accumulated other comprehensive losses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the corresponding debt. Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies which subjects the Company’s cash flows and earnings to exposure related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures arise primarily from purchases or sales of products and services from third parties and intercompany transactions. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts provide for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies at specified future dates at specified exchange rates and are used to offset changes in the fair value of certain assets or liabilities or forecasted cash flows resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 , the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts with notional amounts of $359 million and $575 million , respectively. These notional values consist primarily of contracts for the European euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen, and are stated in U.S. dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates at the respective dates. Fair Value of Derivative Instruments Fair values of derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 are as follows: Asset Derivatives (in millions) Classification September 30, September 30, Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Other current assets $ 7 $ 6 Interest rate swaps Other assets 34 18 Total $ 41 $ 24 Liability Derivatives (in millions) Classification September 30, September 30, Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Other current liabilities $ 11 $ 9 Total $ 11 $ 9 The fair values of derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis as the Company does not have any derivative contracts which are subject to master netting arrangements.

The effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: Amount of Gain (Loss) (in millions) Location of Gain (Loss) September 30, September 30, Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments: Fair Value Hedges Interest rate swaps Interest expense $ 11 $ 8 Cash Flow Hedges Foreign currency forward exchange contracts: Amount of gain (loss) recognized in AOCL (effective portion, before deferred tax impact) AOCL $ (10 ) $ — Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCL into income Cost of sales (6 ) (1 ) Forward starting interest rate swaps: Amount of gain (loss) recognized in AOCL (effective portion, before deferred tax impact) AOCL — 3 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Cost of sales (8 ) (1 ) There was no significant impact to the Company’s earnings related to the ineffective portion of any hedging instruments during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 . In addition, there was no significant impact to the Company’s earnings when a hedged firm commitment no longer qualified as a fair value hedge or when a hedged forecasted transaction no longer qualified as a cash flow hedge during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 . The Company did not have any hedges with credit-risk-related contingent features or that required the posting of collateral as of September 30, 2015 . The cash flows from derivative contracts are recorded in operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company expects to reclassify approximately $5 million of AOCL losses from cash flow hedges into earnings over the next 12 months. The maximum duration of a foreign currency cash flow hedge contract at September 30, 2015 was 58 months. |

Guarantees and Indemnifications Abstract | |
Guarantees and Indemnifications | Guarantees and Indemnifications Product warranty costs Accrued liabilities are recorded to reflect the Company’s contractual obligations relating to warranty commitments to customers. Warranty coverage of various lengths and terms is provided to customers depending on standard offerings and negotiated contractual agreements. An estimate for warranty expense is recorded at the time of sale based on the length of the warranty and historical warranty return rates and repair costs. Changes in the carrying amount of accrued product warranty costs are summarized as follows: September 30 (in millions) 2015 2014 2013 Balance at beginning of year $ 104 $ 121 $ 126 Warranty costs incurred (46 ) (47 ) (46 ) Product warranty accrual 42 46 48 Changes in estimates for prior years (10 ) (15 ) (7 ) Increase from acquisitions 1 — — Foreign currency translation adjustments and other (2 ) (1 ) — Balance at September 30 $ 89 $ 104 $ 121 Guarantees The Company provides a parent company guarantee related to various obligations of its 50 percent owned joint venture, Quest Flight Training Limited (Quest). The Company has guaranteed, jointly and severally with Quadrant Group plc (Quadrant), the other joint venture partner, the performance of Quest in relation to its contract with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (which expires in 2030) and the performance of certain Quest subcontractors (up to $2 million ). In addition, the Company has also pledged equity shares in Quest to guarantee payment by Quest of a loan agreement executed by Quest. In the event of default on this loan agreement, the lending institution can request that the trustee holding such equity shares surrender them to the lending institution in order to satisfy all amounts then outstanding under the loan agreement. As of September 30, 2015 , the outstanding loan balance was approximately $ 3 million . Quadrant has made an identical pledge to guarantee this obligation of Quest. Should Quest fail to meet its obligations under these agreements, these guarantees may become a liability of the Company. As of September 30, 2015 , the Quest guarantees are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position because the Company believes that Quest will meet all of its performance and financial obligations in relation to its contract with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence and the loan agreement. Letters of credit The Company has contingent commitments in the form of letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit are issued by banks on the Company’s behalf to support certain contractual obligations to its customers. If the Company fails to meet these contractual obligations, these letters of credit may become liabilities of the Company. Total outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2015 were $ 252 million . These commitments are not reflected as liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Indemnifications The Company enters into indemnifications with lenders, counterparties in transactions such as administration of employee benefit plans and other customary indemnifications with third parties in the normal course of business. The following are other than customary indemnifications based on the judgment of management: The Company became an independent, publicly held company on June 29, 2001, when Rockwell International Corporation (Rockwell), renamed Rockwell Automation Inc., spun off its former avionics and communications business and certain other assets and liabilities of Rockwell by means of a distribution of all the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock to the shareowners of Rockwell in a tax-free spin-off (the spin-off). In connection with the spin-off, the Company may be required to indemnify certain insurers against claims made by third parties in connection with the Company’s legacy insurance policies. In connection with agreements for the sale of portions of its business, the Company at times retains various liabilities of a business that relate to events occurring prior to its sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. The Company at times indemnifies the purchaser of a Rockwell Collins business in the event that a third party asserts a claim that relates to a liability retained by the Company. The Company also provides indemnifications of varying scope and amounts to certain customers against claims of product liability or intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of Company or customer products or intellectual property. These indemnifications generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third party product liability or intellectual property claims arising from these transactions. The amount the Company could be required to pay under its indemnification agreements is generally limited based on amounts specified in the underlying agreements, or in the case of some agreements, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required is not limited. When a potential claim is asserted under these agreements, the Company considers such factors as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. A liability is recorded when a potential claim is both probable and estimable. The nature of these agreements prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay should counterparties to these agreements assert a claim; however, the Company currently has no material claims pending related to such agreements. |

Rent expense for the years ended September 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was $73 million , $65 million and $67 million , respectively. The Company's commitments under these operating leases, in the form of non-cancelable future lease payments, are not reflected as a liability on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Purchase Contracts The Company may enter into purchase contracts with suppliers under which there is a commitment to buy a minimum amount of products or pay a specified amount. These commitments are not reflected as a liability on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Amounts purchased under these agreements for the years ended September 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 were $50 million , $38 million and $45 million , respectively. Interest on Long-term Debt Interest payments under long-term debt obligations exclude the potential effects of the related interest rate swap contracts. |

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract] | |
Environmental Matters | Environmental Matters The Company is subject to federal, state and local regulations relating to the discharge of substances into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes and other activities affecting the environment that have had and will continue to have an impact on the Company’s manufacturing operations. These environmental protection regulations may require the investigation and remediation of environmental impairments at current and previously owned or leased properties. In addition, lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been asserted on occasion against the Company alleging violations of environmental protection regulations, or seeking remediation of alleged environmental impairments, principally at previously owned or leased properties. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company is involved in the investigation or remediation of eight sites under these regulations or pursuant to lawsuits asserted by third parties. Management estimates that the total reasonably possible future costs the Company could incur for seven of these sites is not significant. Management estimates that the total reasonably possible future costs the Company could incur from one of these sites to be approximately $ 12 million . The Company has recorded environmental reserves for this site of $ 6 million as of September 30, 2015 , which represents management’s best estimate of the probable future cost for this site. To date, compliance with environmental regulations and resolution of environmental claims has been accomplished without material effect on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, competitive position or financial condition. Management believes that expenditures for environmental capital investment and remediation necessary to comply with present regulations governing environmental protection and other expenditures for the resolution of environmental claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s business or financial position. |

Restructuring Costs and Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract] | |
Restructuring, Pension Settlement, and Asset Impairment Charges, Net | Restructuring, Pension Settlement and Asset Impairment Charges, Net In 2014, the Company recorded pension settlement and restructuring charges totaling $9 million . This amount was comprised of (i) $5 million for pension settlement charges (included within Selling, general and administrative expense) and (ii) $4 million for employee severance costs related to the consolidation and closure of two service centers as part of a plan to optimize the efficiency of the Company's global service center footprint. These severance costs were included within cost of sales. Through September 30, 2015, the Company has completed all cash payments associated with these actions. In 2012, the Company recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges, net totaling $58 million . Included in this charge was $35 million related to employee severance costs, primarily resulting from decisions to realign the Company's European organizational structure to better position the business for long-term growth and to adjust the size of the workforce in anticipation of the sequestration impacts on the U.S. defense budgets. Through September 30, 2015, the Company has made cash severance payments of approximately $32 million related to the 2012 restructuring action. As of September 30, 2015, $3 million of employee separation costs related to the 2012 restructuring action remain to be paid in future periods. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Event | Subsequent Event In October 2015, the Company initiated certain restructuring actions primarily as a result of continued weakness in the business aviation market. The Company expects to record a pre-tax restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2016 in the range of $35 million to $45 million , primarily consisting of employee severance costs. The majority of the cash payments associated with these actions are expected to occur in the Company's first and second quarter of 2016. |
Significant Accounting Polici34
Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2015 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation | Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company has one consolidated subsidiary with income attributable to a noncontrolling interest. The net income and comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is insignificant. The Company's investments in entities it does not control but over which it has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method and are included in Other Assets. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. |
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions | Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The functional currency for significant subsidiaries operating outside the United States is typically their respective local currency. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses due to the remeasurement of account balances in foreign currencies are included within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and were not material to the Company's results of operations for 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company enters into sales arrangements that may provide for multiple deliverables to a customer. The Company identifies all goods and/or services that are to be delivered separately under a sales arrangement and allocates revenue to each deliverable based on relative fair values. Fair values are generally established based on the prices charged when sold separately by the Company. In general, revenues are separated between hardware, engineering services, maintenance services and installation services. The allocated revenue for each deliverable is then recognized using appropriate revenue recognition methods. Sales related to long-term contracts requiring development and delivery of products over several years are generally accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in accordance with the Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts subtopic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification. The percentage-of-completion method is predominately used in the Government Systems segment and sales and earnings under qualifying contracts are recorded either as products are shipped under the units-of-delivery method (for production effort), or based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs expected to be incurred related to the contract under the cost-to-cost method (for development effort). Purchase options and change orders are accounted for either as an integral part of the original contract or separately depending upon the nature and value of the item. Sales and costs related to profitable purchase options are included in estimates only when the options are exercised whereas sales and costs related to unprofitable purchase options are included in estimates when exercise is determined to be probable. Sales related to change orders are included in estimates only if they can be reliably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which losses become probable and estimable. Changes in estimates of profit or loss on contracts are included in earnings on a cumulative basis in the period the estimate is changed. Sales related to long-term separately priced product maintenance or warranty contracts are accounted for based on the terms of the underlying agreements. Certain contracts are fixed-price contracts with sales recognized ratably over the contractual life, while other contracts have a fixed hourly rate with sales recognized based on actual labor or flight hours incurred. The cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes sales for most other products or services when all of the following criteria are met: an agreement of sale exists, product delivery and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit with original maturity dates of three months or less and money market funds. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Allowances are established in order to report receivables at net realizable value on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The determination of these allowances requires management of the Company to make estimates and judgments as to the collectability of customer account balances. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using costs which approximate the first-in, first-out method, less related progress payments received. Inventoried costs include direct costs of manufacturing, certain engineering costs and allocable overhead costs. The Company regularly compares inventory quantities on hand on a part level basis to estimated forecasts of product demand and production requirements as well as historical usage. Based on these comparisons, management establishes an excess and obsolete inventory reserve as needed. Inventory valuation reserves were $87 million and $91 million at September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company defers certain pre-production engineering costs during the development phase of a program in connection with long-term supply arrangements that contain contractual guarantees for reimbursement from customers. Such customer guarantees generally take the form of a minimum order quantity with quantified reimbursement amounts if the minimum order quantity is not taken by the customer. These costs are deferred to the extent of the contractual guarantees and are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a units-of-delivery method, up to 15 years. This amortization expense is included as a component of cost of sales. Amortization is based on the Company’s expectation of delivery rates on a program-by-program basis and begins when the Company starts recognizing revenue as the Company delivers equipment for the program. The estimated useful life is limited to the amount of time the Company is virtually assured to earn revenues under long-term supply arrangements with the Company’s customers. Pre-production engineering costs incurred pursuant to supply arrangements that do not contain customer guarantees for reimbursement are expensed as incurred. |
Progress Payments | Progress Payments Progress payments relate to both receivables and inventories and represent cash collected from government-related contracts whereby the governments have a legal right of offset related to the receivable or legal title to the work-in-process inventory. |
Property | Property Property is stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property is generally provided using straight-line methods over the following estimated useful lives: buildings and improvements, 10 - 40 years; machinery and equipment (including internally developed software and other costs associated with the expansion and construction of ARINC's network-related assets), 3 - 15 years; information systems software and hardware, 3 - 10 years; and furniture and fixtures, 5 - 15 years. Depreciation methods and lives are reviewed periodically with any changes recorded on a prospective basis. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized and replaced units are written off. Maintenance and repairs, as well as renewals of minor amounts, are charged to expense in the period incurred. The fair value of liabilities associated with the retirement of property is recorded when there is a legal or contractual requirement to incur such costs and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Upon the initial recognition of a contractual or legal liability for an asset retirement obligation, the Company capitalizes the asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the property by the same amount as the liability. This asset retirement cost is then depreciated over the estimated useful life of the underlying property. The Company did not have any significant asset retirement obligations at September 30, 2015 and 2014 . |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and intangible assets generally result from business acquisitions. The purchase price of the acquisition is assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on fair value. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are allocated to the Company's reporting units based on the Company's integration plans and internal reporting structure. As of September 30, 2015 the Company had six reporting units. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 - 23 years. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. |
Customer Incentives | Customer Relationship Up-Front Sales Incentives The Company provides up-front sales incentives prior to delivering products or performing services to certain commercial customers in connection with sales contracts. Up-front sales incentives are recorded as a Customer relationship intangible asset and are amortized using a units-of-delivery method over the period the Company has received a contractually enforceable right related to the incentives, up to 15 years after entry into service. Amortization is based on the Company’s expectation of delivery rates on a program-by-program basis. Amortization begins when the Company starts recognizing revenue as the Company delivers equipment for the program. Up-front sales incentives consisting of cash payments or customer account credits are amortized as a reduction of sales, whereas incentives consisting of free products are amortized as cost of sales. Accrued Customer Incentives Incentives earned by customers based on purchases of Company products or services are recognized as a liability when the related sale is recorded. Incentives consisting of cash payments or customer account credits are recognized as a reduction of sales, while incentives consisting of free products and account credits where the customer's use is restricted to future purchases are recognized as cost of sales. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when management plans to dispose of assets or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is more-likely-than-not unrecoverable. Assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management determines fair value using a discounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. Long-lived assets held for use are reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its remaining useful life. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment with more frequent tests performed if indications of impairment exist. The Company's annual impairment testing date is in the second quarter of each fiscal year. Impairment for intangible assets with indefinite lives exists if the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is potentially impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had six reporting units. |
Advance Payments From Customers | Advance Payments from Customers Advance payments from customers represent cash collected from customers in advance of revenue recognition. |
Capital Leases | Capital Leases Assets under capital lease and capital lease obligation are initially measured at the lower of estimated fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments. The present value of minimum lease payments is calculated for payments during the noncancelable lease term using the lower of the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate or the rate implicit in the lease, if known. Capital lease obligation is recorded within Other Liabilities and the related assets are recorded in Property or Other Assets based upon their intended use. Payments are allocated between a reduction of the lease obligation and interest expense using the interest method. Assets under capital lease are depreciated over the noncancelable lease term, ranging from 5 - 15 years, consistent with the Company's depreciation policy. |
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and Development The Company performs R&D activities relating to the development of new products and the improvement of existing products. Company-funded R&D programs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of sales. Company-funded R&D expenditures were $272 million , $268 million and $291 million for fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. |
Environmental | Environmental Liabilities for environmental matters are recorded in the period in which it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the cost can be reasonably estimated. At environmental sites in which more than one potentially responsible party has been identified, the Company records a liability for its estimated allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site as well as an estimated allocable share of costs related to the involvement of insolvent or unidentified parties. At environmental sites in which the Company is the only responsible party, the Company records a liability for the total estimated costs of remediation. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Current tax liabilities and assets are based upon an estimate of taxes payable or refundable in the current year for each of the jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax. As part of the determination of its tax liability, management exercises considerable judgment in evaluating tax positions taken by the Company in determining the income tax provision and establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the Income Taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and their respective carrying amounts for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. |
Derivatives Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap contracts for the purpose of minimizing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on business transactions and interest rates, respectively. The Company's policy is to execute such instruments with banks the Company believes to be creditworthy and not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes or to manage exposure for net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. These derivative financial instruments do not subject the Company to undue risk as gains and losses on these instruments generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions that are being hedged. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For a derivative that has not been designated as an accounting hedge, the change in fair value is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative that has been designated as an accounting hedge of an existing asset or liability (a fair value hedge), the change in the fair value of both the derivative and underlying asset or liability is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative designated as an accounting hedge of an anticipated transaction (a cash flow hedge), the change in the fair value is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in Accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent the derivative is effective in mitigating the exposure related to the anticipated transaction. The change in the fair value related to the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings. The amount recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company does not exclude any amounts from the measure of effectiveness for both fair value and cash flow hedges. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, long-term contracts, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, product warranty cost liabilities, customer incentives, retirement benefits, income taxes, environmental matters, pre-production engineering costs, recoverability of long-lived assets and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period they are determined. |
Concentration of Risks | Concentration of Risks The Company's products and services are concentrated within the aerospace and defense industries with customers consisting primarily of military and commercial aircraft manufacturers, commercial airlines and the U.S. Government and non-U.S. governments. As a result of this industry focus, the Company's current and future financial performance is largely dependent upon the overall economic conditions within these industries. In particular, the commercial aerospace market has been historically cyclical and subject to downturns during periods of weak economic conditions, which could be prompted or exacerbated by political or other domestic or international events. The defense market may be affected by changes in budget appropriations, procurement policies, political developments both domestically and abroad and other factors. The Company depends to a large degree on U.S. Government spending, as a significant portion of the Company's sales are derived from U.S. Government contracts, both directly and indirectly through subcontracts. The U.S. Government continues to face significant fiscal and economic challenges. To address those challenges, the U.S. Government has implemented various initiatives, including measures to reduce its spending levels pursuant to the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011. The BCA imposes spending caps and certain reductions in security spending over a ten-year period through 2021. These spending caps and reductions, referred to as sequestration, went into effect in March 2013. In December 2013, the Murray-Ryan Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2013 was enacted, raising government discretionary spending limits temporarily for 2014 and 2015. More recently, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 again raised the government discretionary spending limits temporarily for 2016 and 2017, after which the BCA will again be in force. In years when the U.S. Government does not complete its annual budget and appropriations process prior to the beginning of its fiscal year (October 1), government operations are typically funded through a continuing resolution that authorizes agencies of the U.S. Government to continue to operate in the new year, but generally does not authorize new spending initiatives. During periods covered by continuing resolutions (or until the regular appropriation bills are passed), the Company may experience delays by the government in procurement of new or existing products and services which can adversely impact the Company's results of operations and cause variability in the timing of revenue between periods. The government began operations in fiscal year 2016 under a continuing resolution that is set to expire in December 2015. The Company remains confident that our product offerings are well positioned to meet the needs of our government customers in this uncertain environment and the Company continues to enhance our international strategies and make proactive adjustments to the Company's cost structure as necessary. While management believes the Company's product offerings are well positioned to meet the needs of its U.S. Government customers, the impact of sequestration and continuing resolutions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows and on the defense industry in general. In addition to the overall business risks associated with the Company's concentration within the aerospace and defense industries, the Company is also exposed to a concentration of collection risk on credit extended to business jet aircraft manufacturers. At September 30, 2015 , accounts receivable due from business jet aircraft manufacturers were approximately $148 million . The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on the financial condition of all of its customers and maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable based on expected collectability. Although management believes its allowances are adequate, the Company is not able to predict with certainty the changes in the financial stability of its customers. Any material change in the financial status of any one customer or group of customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that provides a practical expedient permitting entities with a fiscal year end that does not coincide with a month end to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month end date closest to the fiscal year end. The new standard was early adopted by the Company for each of its defined benefit plans effective for the 2015 fiscal year end with no significant impact to the Company's financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that effectively replaces all current guidance on the topic and expands disclosures regarding revenue. The guidance permits use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The new standard, as amended, is effective for the Company in fiscal 2019, with early adoption permitted in fiscal 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods allowed under the new standard and the effect the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Given the new standard's impact on business processes, systems and internal controls, analysis of the new guidance will likely extend over several future periods. In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that modifies the criteria used to qualify divestitures for classification as discontinued operations and expands disclosures related to disposals of significant components. The amendment will become effective for the Company in fiscal 2016. The amended guidance is expected to decrease the likelihood that future disposals will qualify for discontinued operations treatment, meaning that the results of operations of some future disposals may be reported in continuing operations. Other new accounting standards issued but not effective until after September 30, 2015 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. |
