Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Business Description and Basis of Presentation | Business Description and Basis of Presentation Rockwell Collins, Inc. (the Company or Rockwell Collins) designs, produces and supports cabin interior, communications and aviation systems and products for commercial and military customers and provides information management services through voice and data communication networks and solutions worldwide. The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the Friday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter. For ease of presentation, March 31 and September 30 are utilized consistently throughout these financial statements and notes to represent the period end dates. The Company has two consolidated subsidiaries with income attributable to a noncontrolling interest. The net income and comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is insignificant. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017 . In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. On September 4, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with United Technologies Corporation (UTC). The Merger Agreement provides that the Company will be acquired by UTC. Each Company shareowner will receive $93.33 per share in cash and $46.67 in shares of UTC common stock in the merger, subject to a 7.5 percent collar centered on UTC's August 22, 2017 closing share price of $115.69 . The transaction, which is expected to close by the third calendar quarter of 2018, is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and approval by certain regulators. The Company incurred $21 million of merger-related costs during the six months ended March 31, 2018 . These costs are included in Transaction and integration costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2018 , $ 14 million of merger-related costs were unpaid and included in Accounts payable and Compensation and benefits on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. On April 13, 2017, the Company acquired B/E Aerospace, a leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products and services. Prior to 2018, the financial results of the entire B/E Aerospace business were reported in a new Interior Systems segment. Beginning in 2018, the B/E Aerospace thermal and electronic systems product lines, which primarily serve military and government customers, are now being reported in the Government Systems segment. This reorganization is expected to generate additional revenue synergy opportunities for the Company. The results of operations of the acquired B/E Aerospace business are now reported in the Interior Systems and Government Systems business segments. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to formally codify the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118. SAB 118 provides additional guidance allowing companies to use a one year measurement period, similar to that used in business combinations, to account for the impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) in their financial statements. The Company has accounted for the impacts of the Act, including the use of reasonable estimates where necessary. The Company may continue to refine its estimates throughout the measurement period. In February 2018, the FASB issued a new standard giving companies the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the Act to retained earnings. The guidance can be applied retrospectively or in the period of adoption and is effective for the Company in 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued a new standard on presentation of the net periodic cost of postretirement benefit programs. The new standard requires sponsors of defined benefit postretirement plans to present the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost separate from the service cost component on the income statement. The new standard also requires that the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost no longer be capitalized within assets. The Company is evaluating the effects the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures beyond the change in income statement presentation. This new standard is effective for the Company in 2019, with early adoption permitted. In February 2016, the FASB issued a comprehensive new lease accounting standard, which provides revised guidance on accounting for lease arrangements by both lessors and lessees. The central requirement of the new standard is that lessees must recognize lease-related assets and liabilities for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. The Company is evaluating the effect the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but expects a material change to the balance sheet due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to the Company's portfolio of real estate leases. The new guidance is not expected to materially impact accounting for those leases the Company enters into with customers. The new standard is effective for the Company in 2020, with early adoption permitted. In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that effectively replaces all current guidance on the topic. Several amendments to the new standard have been issued, which are intended to resolve potential implementation challenges and drive consistent interpretation and application of the new standard. The new standard is effective for the Company in 2019, with early adoption permitted, but not earlier than 2018. The guidance permits use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect (modified retrospective) transition method. The Company's interpretation of the new standard is substantially complete and the Company has prepared an initial assessment of the impacts of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Anticipated changes under the new standard include, among other items, accounting for development costs and associated customer funding related to commercial contracts, increased use of over time revenue recognition based on costs incurred for government contracts and the elimination of customer relationship intangible assets related to free products provided to customers as up-front sales incentives. The new standard also significantly enhances required disclosures regarding revenue and related assets and liabilities. Of the anticipated changes, the Company expects that the change in accounting for commercial contract development costs and associated customer funding is likely to have the most significant impact on its financial statements. Customer funding received for development effort is currently recognized as revenue as the development activities are performed. Under the new standard, the Company has concluded that the development effort does not represent a performance obligation. Therefore, customer funding specific to the development effort must be deferred as a contract liability and recognized as revenue when products are delivered to the customer, delaying the timing of revenue recognition. The Company currently expenses development costs associated with commercial contracts unless the arrangement includes a contractual guarantee for reimbursement from the customer. Upon adoption of the new standard, development costs will be expensed as incurred except for those costs incurred pursuant to customer funding. The amount of development costs eligible for deferral will be equivalent to the associated customer funding. Subsequent to adoption, those deferred development costs will be recognized as expense when products are delivered to the customer, consistent with the amortization of deferred development specific customer funding into revenue. Development costs incurred pursuant to contractual guarantees for reimbursement will no longer be capitalized within Inventory as pre-production engineering costs. The balance of capitalized development costs within Inventory as of the adoption date will be eliminated and the related post-adoption amortization expense avoided. The Company continues to evaluate the impacts associated with the new standard and refine estimated impacts of adoption on the financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is in the process of implementing changes to business processes, systems and internal controls required to implement the new accounting standard. The Company intends to utilize the modified retrospective transition approach. Other new accounting standards issued but not effective until after March 31, 2018 , are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. |

Business Combination, Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets Acquisitions B/E Aerospace On April 13, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of B/E Aerospace, a leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products and services, for $6.5 billion in cash and stock, plus the assumption of $2.0 billion of debt, net of cash acquired. The transaction combines the Company's capabilities in flight deck avionics, cabin electronics, mission communication and navigation, simulation and training and information management services with B/E Aerospace's range of cabin interior products, which include seating, food and beverage preparation and storage equipment, lighting and oxygen systems and modular galley and lavatory systems for commercial airliners and business jets. The acquisition advances the Company’s global growth strategy by expanding the Company's previous focus on cockpit, cabin management, communication and connectivity solutions, and diversifies the Company's product portfolio and customer mix. Results of the acquired business are reported in the Interior Systems and Government Systems business segments (see Note 1). The $6.5 billion gross purchase price for the acquisition of B/E Aerospace includes the following: (in millions) Cash consideration $ 3,521 Value of common stock issued for B/E Aerospace common stock (1) 3,015 Total purchase price $ 6,536 (1) 31.2 million shares of common stock issued to B/E Aerospace shareholders at the Company's April 13, 2017, closing share price of $96.63 . The cash consideration was financed through the issuance of $4.35 billion of senior unsecured notes and $1.5 billion borrowed under a senior unsecured syndicated term loan facility (see Note 7). The remaining proceeds of the debt offering were used to repay assumed B/E Aerospace debt and a portion of the Company's outstanding short-term commercial paper borrowings. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date: (in millions) April 13, 2017 Cash and cash equivalents $ 104 Receivables, net 485 Inventories, net (1) 542 Other current assets 45 Property 271 Intangible Assets 1,586 Other Assets 53 Total Identifiable Assets Acquired 3,086 Accounts payable (231 ) Compensation and benefits (75 ) Advance payments from customers (62 ) Accrued customer incentives (48 ) Product warranty costs (117 ) Other current liabilities (2) (366 ) Long-term Debt, Net (2,119 ) Retirement Benefits (12 ) Deferred Income Tax Liability (287 ) Other Liabilities (2) (433 ) Total Liabilities Assumed (3,750 ) Net Identifiable Assets Acquired, excluding Goodwill (664 ) Goodwill 7,200 Net Assets Acquired $ 6,536 (1) Inventories, net includes a $74 million adjustment to state Work in process and Finished goods inventories at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The inventory fair value adjustment was amortized as a non-cash increase to Cost of sales during the year ended September 30, 2017 . (2) As of the acquisition date, the Company made adjustments totaling $486 million related to acquired existing long-term contracts with terms less favorable than could be realized in market transactions as of the acquisition date. The adjustments were primarily recognized within Other current liabilities and Other Liabilities based upon estimates regarding the period in which the liabilities will be amortized to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as non-cash reductions to Cost of sales. $68 million of the acquired contract liabilities were recognized as a reduction to Cost of sales during the six months ended March 31, 2018 . During the six months ended March 31, 2018 , revisions were made to the estimated acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The revisions were primarily due to a change in estimate with respect to the future repatriation of certain foreign earnings, adjustments to the income tax accounts as a result of filing the pre-acquisitions returns, recognition of a liability associated with the KLX Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement (see note 14) and revisions to the fair value of certain acquired property. The measurement period adjustments resulted in a $15 million net increase to Goodwill and did not have a material impact on the financial results of prior periods. The Intangible Assets included above consist of the following: Weighted Average Life (in years) Fair Value (in millions) Developed technology 9 $ 435 Seating customer relationships 6 860 Other customer relationships 8 291 Total 7 $ 1,586 The purchase price allocation was finalized in the second quarter of 2018 and resulted in the recognition of $7.2 billion of goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is included in the Interior Systems and Government Systems segments. The goodwill is a result of expected cost synergies from the consolidation of certain corporate and administrative functions, supply chain savings and low-cost manufacturing, expected revenue synergies from the integration of legacy products and technologies with those of B/E Aerospace and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the assembled B/E Aerospace workforce. B/E Aerospace's results of operations have been included in the Company's operating results for the periods subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on April 13, 2017. B/E Aerospace contributed sales of $776 million and $1.492 billion for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 , respectively. Excluding the discrete impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (see Note 11) and transaction, integration and financing costs, B/E Aerospace contributed net income of $98 million and $174 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 , respectively. Transaction, Integration and Financing Costs The Company recorded total transaction, integration and financing costs related to the B/E Aerospace acquisition in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31 March 31 (in millions) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Transaction and integration costs $ 24 $ 5 $ 41 $ 16 Bridge facility fees (included in Interest expense) — 8 — 11 Total Transaction, integration and financing costs $ 24 $ 13 $ 41 $ 27 Transaction costs incurred prior to the B/E Aerospace acquisition were reported as SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, and were reclassified to Transaction and integration costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as of the acquisition date. At March 31, 2018 , $16 million of transaction, integration and financing costs were unpaid and included in Accounts payable and Compensation and benefits on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 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 completed as of the beginning of the prior year, or on October 1, 2015. 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 been consummated on October 1, 2015, 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 B/E Aerospace 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.

Pulse.aero On December 20, 2016, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Pulse.aero, a United Kingdom based company specializing in self-bag drop technologies used by airlines and airports. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $16 million , of which $14 million was paid during the year ended September 30, 2017 and $1 million was paid during the six months ended March 31, 2018 . On the acquisition date, the Company recorded a $5 million liability for the fair value of post-closing consideration that may be paid, contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue targets and development milestones. The Company made contingent consideration payments of $2 million during the year ended September 30, 2017 and $1 million during the six months ended March 31, 2018 . In the third quarter of 2017, the purchase price allocation was finalized, with $12 million allocated to goodwill and $6 million to intangible assets. The intangible assets have a weighted average life of approximately 9 years. None of the 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 expand the Company's airport passenger processing offerings. The B/E Aerosapce acquisition is included in the Interior Systems and Government Systems segments (see Note 1) and the Pulse.aero acquisition is included in the Information Management Services segment. The results of operations for the acquisitions have been included in the Company's operating results for the periods subsequent to the acquisition dates.

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. As of March 31, 2018 , the weighted average amortization period remaining for up-front sales incentives was approximately 10 years. Anticipated annual amortization expense for intangible assets is as follows: (in millions) 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter Anticipated amortization expense for up-front sales incentives $ 20 $ 24 $ 26 $ 27 $ 27 $ 124 Anticipated amortization expense for all other intangible assets 269 266 264 264 262 517 Total $ 289 $ 290 $ 290 $ 291 $ 289 $ 641 Amortization expense for intangible assets for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 was $72 million and $145 million , respectively, compared to $13 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 . |

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 contractual guarantees for reimbursement are expensed as incurred. Anticipated annual amortization expense for pre-production engineering costs is as follows: (in millions) 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter Anticipated amortization expense for pre-production engineering costs $ 85 $ 137 $ 150 $ 148 $ 139 $ 564 Amortization expense for pre-production engineering costs for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 was $19 million and $38 million , respectively, compared to $14 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 .

Income Taxes | Income Taxes At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate. Tax items included in the annual effective income tax rate are pro-rated for the full year and tax items discrete to a specific quarter are included in the effective income tax rate for that quarter. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods. On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act). The Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits and deductions for individuals and businesses. For businesses, the Act reduces the corporate federal tax rate from a maximum of 35.0 percent to a flat 21.0 percent rate and transitions from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. The Act also adds many new provisions including changes to bonus depreciation, changes to the deduction for executive compensation and interest expense, a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT) and a deduction for foreign-derived intangible income (FDII). Many of these provisions, including the tax on GILTI, the BEAT and the deduction for FDII, do not apply to the Company until 2019 and the Company continues to assess the impact of these provisions. The Company has elected to account for the tax on GILTI as a period cost and thus has not adjusted any of the deferred tax assets/liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries for the new tax. The two material items that impact the Company for 2018 are the reduction in the tax rate and a one-time tax that is imposed on the Company’s unremitted foreign earnings. On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 that provides additional guidance allowing companies to use a one year measurement period, similar to that used in business combinations, to account for the impacts of the Act in their financial statements. During the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company has accounted for the impacts of the Act, including the use of reasonable estimates where necessary. The Company may continue to refine its estimates throughout the measurement period. Due to the Company’s fiscal year, the Company expects its 2018 U.S. federal statutory tax rate to be approximately 24.6 percent . The Company’s U.S. federal statutory tax rate will be 21.0 percent starting in 2019. As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent under the Act, the Company has continued to refine its estimate of the rate impact on the deferred tax accounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company recorded a provisional addition to its net deferred tax liability and a corresponding increase to income tax expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company’s revaluation of its deferred tax liability is subject to further adjustments during the measurement period due to the complexity of determining its net deferred tax liability as of the enactment date. Some of the information necessary to determine the accounting impacts of the tax rate change includes final calculations related to the Company’s 2017 tax return as well as refining the analysis of which existing deferred balances at the enactment date will reverse in 2018 at the 24.6 percent tax rate and which deferred balances will reverse after 2018 at the 21.0 percent tax rate. As of the December 31, 2017 deemed repatriation date, the Company estimates that it had approximately $1.048 billion of unremitted foreign earnings that would be subject to the tax imposed under Section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Act imposes a tax on these earnings at either a 15.5 percent rate or an 8.0 percent rate. The higher rate applies to the extent the Company's foreign subsidiaries have cash and cash equivalents at certain measurement dates, whereas the lower rate applies to any earnings that are in excess of the cash and cash equivalents balance. After accounting for foreign tax credits related to the deemed repatriated earnings, the Company estimates the tax to be approximately $75 million . The Company recorded a provisional amount of $40 million of tax expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 , and has established a $35 million liability related to certain B/E Aerospace unremitted foreign earnings through purchase accounting. The Company’s accounting for the tax on unremitted foreign earnings is incomplete due to the complexity of determining the various components of the calculation. Some of the information necessary to determine the amount of the tax includes the future profitability of its foreign subsidiaries, cash balances as of September 30, 2018, and detailed tax computations that need to be completed as part of the Company’s 2017 tax return. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the effective income tax rate was 22.5 percent and 27.9 percent, respectively. The lower current year effective income tax rate was primarily due to a lower U.S. Federal statutory tax rate under the Act and benefits from the jurisdictional mix of income as a result of the B/E Aerospace acquisition, partially offset by a change in the provisional estimate of the tax impacts of the Act. During the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the effective income tax rate was 8.2 percent and 28.2 percent, respectively. The lower current year effective income tax rate was primarily due to an $84 million reduction in deferred tax liabilities resulting from enactment of the Act, a lower U.S. Federal statutory tax rate under the Act and benefits from the jurisdictional mix of income as a result of the B/E Aerospace acquisition, partially offset by a $40 million obligation related to the tax on unremitted foreign earnings imposed by the Act. The Company's U.S. Federal income tax returns for the tax year ended September 30, 2013 and prior years have been audited by the IRS and are closed to further adjustments. The IRS is currently auditing the Company's tax returns for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2015. The IRS is currently auditing the legacy tax filings of an acquired subsidiary for the 2014 calendar year. The Company is 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. The Company had net income tax payments of $82 million and $145 million during the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The Company has gross unrecognized tax benefits recorded within Deferred Income Tax Liability and Other Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of $219 million and $201 million as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 , respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate was $189 million and $169 million as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 , 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 million to $ 82 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 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $10 million and $8 million as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 , respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties recorded as an expense or (income) within Income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations were not significant for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , 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 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's or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 , are as follows: March 31, 2018 September 30, 2017 (in millions) Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value Asset (Liability) Fair Value Asset (Liability) Deferred compensation plan investments Level 1 $ 63 $ 63 Deferred compensation plan investments Level 2 26 24 Interest rate swap assets Level 2 4 14 Interest rate swap liabilities Level 2 (2 ) — Foreign currency forward exchange contract assets Level 2 7 8 Foreign currency forward exchange contract liabilities Level 2 (10 ) (7 ) Acquisition-related contingent consideration Level 3 (16 ) (17 ) There were no transfers between Levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended March 31, 2018 or 2017 . Valuation Techniques The Level 1 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 Level 2 deferred compensation plan investments consist of investments in variable insurance trust funds and the fair value is determined using the market approach and is calculated by a pricing model with observable market inputs. 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. As of March 31, 2018 , 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. Contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of post-closing consideration owed to the sellers associated with the International Communications Group (ICG) acquisition, which occurred on August 6, 2015, and the Pulse.aero acquisition, which occurred on December 20, 2016. The contingent consideration is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and the fair value is determined using a probability-weighted approach. The liabilities recorded were derived from the estimated probability that certain contingent payment milestones will be met in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreements. The change in fair value of the Level 3 contingent consideration related to the ICG and Pulse.aero acquisitions is as follows: (in millions) Fair Value (Liability) Balance at September 30, 2017 $ (17 ) Payment of contingent consideration (see Note 3) 1 Balance at March 31, 2018 $ (16 ) Financial instruments The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: Asset (Liability) March 31, 2018 September 30, 2017 (in millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 668 $ 668 $ 703 $ 703 Short-term debt (908 ) (908 ) (479 ) (479 ) Long-term debt (6,454 ) (6,411 ) (6,662 ) (6,898 ) The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and the commercial paper portion of 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 the current portion of long-term debt and 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 a mix of fixed and variable rate debt, which over time should moderate the costs of debt financing. To help 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 5.25 percent 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 5.25 percent 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 the 2023 Swaps (the Swaps) as fair value hedges. At March 31, 2018 , the Swaps are recorded within Other Assets at a fair value of $4 million and Other Liabilities at a fair value of $2 million , offset by a fair value adjustment to Long-term Debt (see Note 7) of $2 million . At September 30, 2017 , the Swaps were recorded within Other Assets at a fair value of $14 million , offset by a fair value adjustment to Long-term Debt (see Note 7) of $14 million . Cash payments or receipts between the Company and the counterparties to the Swaps are recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. 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 March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 , the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts with notional amounts of $761 million and $1.312 billion , respectively. The decrease in the notional amount of outstanding foreign currency contracts is due to the maturation of certain foreign currency contracts entered into to offset remeasurement of certain intercompany loans that matured in the current fiscal year. These notional values consist primarily of contracts for the European euro and British pound sterling, 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 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 , are as follows: Asset Derivatives (in millions) Classification March 31, September 30, 2017 Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Other current assets $ 7 $ 8 Interest rate swaps Other assets 4 14 Total $ 11 $ 22 Liability Derivatives (in millions) Classification March 31, September 30, 2017 Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Other current liabilities $ 10 $ 7 Interest rate swaps Other liabilities 2 — $ 12 $ 7 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. As of March 31, 2018 , there were undesignated foreign currency forward exchange contracts classified within Other current assets of $2 million and Other current liabilities of $3 million . The effect of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , is as follows: Amount of Gain (Loss) Amount of Gain (Loss) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31 March 31 (in millions) Location of Gain (Loss) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments: Fair Value Hedges Interest rate swaps Interest expense $ 1 $ 2 $ 2 $ 4 Cash Flow Hedges Foreign currency forward exchange contracts: Amount of gain recognized in AOCL (effective portion, before deferred tax impact) AOCL 2 4 — — Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCL into income Cost of sales 1 (2 ) 2 (3 ) Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Cost of sales 15 — 11 (1 ) Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Transaction and integration costs (6 ) — (6 ) — There was no significant impact to the Company’s earnings related to the ineffective portion of any hedging instruments during the six months ended March 31, 2018 . 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 three and six months ended March 31, 2018 . The Company did not have any hedges with credit-risk-related contingent features or that required the posting of collateral as of March 31, 2018 . The cash flows from derivative contracts are recorded in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company expects to have no net impact from the reclassification of AOCL gains and losses from cash flow hedges into earnings over the next 12 months. The maximum duration of a foreign currency cash flow hedge contract at March 31, 2018 , was 66 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: Six Months Ended March 31 (in millions) 2018 2017 Balance at beginning of year $ 186 $ 87 Warranty costs incurred (42 ) (20 ) Product warranty accrual 46 19 Changes in estimates for prior years — (5 ) Balance at March 31 $ 190 $ 81 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 March 31, 2018 , were $264 million . These commitments are not reflected as liabilities on the Company’s Condensed 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: 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 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. Under a 2014 Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement entered into by B/E Aerospace prior to its acquisition by the Company, the Company assumes certain potential tax liabilities related to the 2014 KLX spin-off from B/E Aerospace. If it is determined that the KLX spin-off by B/E Aerospace fails to qualify for certain tax-free treatment as a result of the Company's merger with B/E Aerospace (for example, if the merger is viewed as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the KLX spin-off or the KLX spin-off is found to have been used principally as a device for the distribution of earnings and profits), or because of the failure of the KLX spin-off to initially qualify for the tax-free treatment, the B/E Aerospace subsidiary could incur significant tax liabilities pursuant to the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement or otherwise. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company received notification of the resolution of a competent authority filing between the U.K. and U.S. related to 2010 pre-acquisition U.K. tax adjustments. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement the Company accrued a $9 million payable to KLX through purchase accounting during the three months ended December 31, 2017. 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. |

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 March 31, 2018 , the Company is involved in the investigation or remediation of nine 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 eight of these sites is not significant. Management estimates that the total reasonably possible future costs the Company could incur for one of these sites to be approximately $12 million . The Company has recorded environmental reserves for this site of $6 million as of March 31, 2018 , 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. |

Legal Matters | Legal Matters The Company is subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings that have been or may be instituted or asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of the Company's business, including those pertaining to product liability, antitrust, intellectual property, safety and health, exporting and importing, contract, employment and regulatory matters. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company, management believes there are no material pending legal proceedings. Related to the acquisition and post-closing compliance review of B/E Aerospace, the Company identified and is investigating the circumstances surrounding an employee's submission of certain expense reports for customer entertainment and gifts that preceded the acquisition and do not appear to have complied with applicable company policy. In March 2018, the Company voluntarily notified the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Division of Enforcement of its investigation. As the Company's investigation is at an early stage, the outcome or the consequences thereof cannot be predicted at this time. |

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 , the Company incurred $5 million and $16 million of transaction and integration costs related to the B/E Aerospace acquisition. During this period, the Company also incurred $8 million and $11 million of bridge facility fees related to the B/E Aerospace acquisition, respectively, which are included in Interest expense. Therefore, total transaction, integration and financing costs during the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 were $13 million and $27 million . The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon, among other considerations, segment operating earnings. The Company's definition of segment operating earnings excludes income taxes, stock-based compensation, unallocated general corporate expenses, interest expense, transaction and integration costs, restructuring and asset impairment charges and other special items as identified by management from time to time. Intersegment sales are not material and have been eliminated. The following table summarizes sales by category for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 : Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31 March 31 (in millions) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Interior Systems sales categories: Interior products and services $ 370 $ — $ 726 $ — Aircraft seating 331 — 631 — Interior Systems sales 701 — 1,357 — Commercial Systems sales categories: Air transport aviation electronics 382 364 762 693 Business and regional aviation electronics 262 230 490 450 Commercial Systems sales 644 594 1,252 1,143 Government Systems sales categories: Avionics 359 367 692 686 Communication and navigation 295 198 535 354 Government Systems sales 654 565 1,227 1,040 Information Management Services sales 181 183 355 352 Total sales $ 2,180 $ 1,342 $ 4,191 $ 2,535 The Interior Systems interior products and services and aircraft seating sales categories are delineated based on the nature of underlying products. The Commercial Systems air transport and business and regional aviation electronics sales categories are delineated based on the difference in underlying customer base, size of aircraft and markets served. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 , sales for air transport aviation electronics include revenue from wide-body in-flight entertainment products and services of $4 million and $8 million , respectively, compared to $4 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 . The Government Systems avionics and communication and navigation sales categories are delineated based upon underlying product technologies. Beginning in 2018, two of the acquired B/E Aerospace product lines previously included in the Interior products and services sales category within Interior Systems are now being reported in the Communication and navigation sales category in Government Systems (see Note 1). |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | In March 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to formally codify the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118. SAB 118 provides additional guidance allowing companies to use a one year measurement period, similar to that used in business combinations, to account for the impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) in their financial statements. The Company has accounted for the impacts of the Act, including the use of reasonable estimates where necessary. The Company may continue to refine its estimates throughout the measurement period. In February 2018, the FASB issued a new standard giving companies the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the Act to retained earnings. The guidance can be applied retrospectively or in the period of adoption and is effective for the Company in 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued a new standard on presentation of the net periodic cost of postretirement benefit programs. The new standard requires sponsors of defined benefit postretirement plans to present the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost separate from the service cost component on the income statement. The new standard also requires that the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost no longer be capitalized within assets. The Company is evaluating the effects the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures beyond the change in income statement presentation. This new standard is effective for the Company in 2019, with early adoption permitted. In February 2016, the FASB issued a comprehensive new lease accounting standard, which provides revised guidance on accounting for lease arrangements by both lessors and lessees. The central requirement of the new standard is that lessees must recognize lease-related assets and liabilities for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. The Company is evaluating the effect the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but expects a material change to the balance sheet due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to the Company's portfolio of real estate leases. The new guidance is not expected to materially impact accounting for those leases the Company enters into with customers. The new standard is effective for the Company in 2020, with early adoption permitted. In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that effectively replaces all current guidance on the topic. Several amendments to the new standard have been issued, which are intended to resolve potential implementation challenges and drive consistent interpretation and application of the new standard. The new standard is effective for the Company in 2019, with early adoption permitted, but not earlier than 2018. The guidance permits use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect (modified retrospective) transition method. The Company's interpretation of the new standard is substantially complete and the Company has prepared an initial assessment of the impacts of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Anticipated changes under the new standard include, among other items, accounting for development costs and associated customer funding related to commercial contracts, increased use of over time revenue recognition based on costs incurred for government contracts and the elimination of customer relationship intangible assets related to free products provided to customers as up-front sales incentives. The new standard also significantly enhances required disclosures regarding revenue and related assets and liabilities. Of the anticipated changes, the Company expects that the change in accounting for commercial contract development costs and associated customer funding is likely to have the most significant impact on its financial statements. Customer funding received for development effort is currently recognized as revenue as the development activities are performed. Under the new standard, the Company has concluded that the development effort does not represent a performance obligation. Therefore, customer funding specific to the development effort must be deferred as a contract liability and recognized as revenue when products are delivered to the customer, delaying the timing of revenue recognition. The Company currently expenses development costs associated with commercial contracts unless the arrangement includes a contractual guarantee for reimbursement from the customer. Upon adoption of the new standard, development costs will be expensed as incurred except for those costs incurred pursuant to customer funding. The amount of development costs eligible for deferral will be equivalent to the associated customer funding. Subsequent to adoption, those deferred development costs will be recognized as expense when products are delivered to the customer, consistent with the amortization of deferred development specific customer funding into revenue. Development costs incurred pursuant to contractual guarantees for reimbursement will no longer be capitalized within Inventory as pre-production engineering costs. The balance of capitalized development costs within Inventory as of the adoption date will be eliminated and the related post-adoption amortization expense avoided. The Company continues to evaluate the impacts associated with the new standard and refine estimated impacts of adoption on the financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is in the process of implementing changes to business processes, systems and internal controls required to implement the new accounting standard. The Company intends to utilize the modified retrospective transition approach. Other new accounting standards issued but not effective until after March 31, 2018 , are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. |
Customer 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. |
Preproduction Engineering Costs | 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 contractual guarantees for reimbursement are expensed as incurred. |
