Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. ("HII" or the "Company") is one of America’s largest military shipbuilding companies and a provider of professional services to partners in government and industry. HII is organized into three reportable segments: Ingalls Shipbuilding ("Ingalls"), Newport News Shipbuilding ("Newport News"), and Technical Solutions. For more than a century, the Company's Ingalls segment in Mississippi and Newport News segment in Virginia have built more ships in more ship classes than any other U.S. naval shipbuilder. The Technical Solutions segment provides a range of services to government and commercial customers. HII conducts most of its business with the U.S. Government, primarily the Department of Defense ("DoD"). As prime contractor, principal subcontractor, team member, or partner, the Company participates in many high-priority U.S. defense programs. Through its Ingalls segment, HII is a builder of amphibious assault and expeditionary warfare ships for the U.S. Navy, the sole builder of National Security Cutters for the U.S. Coast Guard, and one of only two companies that builds the Navy's current fleet of Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers. Through its Newport News segment, HII is the nation's sole designer, builder, and refueler of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and one of only two companies currently designing and building nuclear-powered submarines for the U.S. Navy. The Technical Solutions segment provides a wide range of professional services and products, including defense and federal solutions ("DFS"), nuclear and environmental services, and unmanned systems. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Principles of Consolidation - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HII and its subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. For classification of current assets and liabilities related to its long-term production contracts, the Company uses the duration of these contracts as its operating cycle, which is generally longer than one year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary by management for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The quarterly information is labeled using a calendar convention; that is, first quarter is consistently labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is management's long-standing practice to establish interim closing dates using a "fiscal" calendar, which requires the businesses to close their books on a Friday near these quarter-end dates in order to normalize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closings on business processes. The effects of this practice only exist for interim periods within a reporting year. Accounting Estimates - The preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Government Grants - The Company recognizes incentive grants, inclusive of transfers of depreciable assets, from federal, state, and local governments at fair value upon compliance with the conditions of their receipt and reasonable assurance that the grants will be received or the depreciable assets will be transferred. Grants in recognition of specific expenses are recognized in the same period as an offset to those related expenses. Grants related to depreciable assets are recognized over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation expense on those assets is recognized. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized cash grant benefits of approximately $11 million in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized cash grant benefits of approximately $17 million in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Except for the Company's long-term debt, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments recorded at historical cost approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and low credit risk associated with the respective counterparties. The Company maintains multiple grantor trusts to fund certain non-qualified pension plans. These trusts were valued at $209 million and $182 million as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are presented within miscellaneous other assets within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. These trusts consist primarily of investments in marketable securities, which are held at fair value within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Loan Receivable - The Company holds a loan receivable in connection with the financing of the sale of its previously owned Avondale Shipyard facility. The receivable was carried at amortized cost of $36 million, net of $13 million of loan discount as of September 30, 2021, and at amortized cost of $34 million, net of $15 million of loan discount as of December 31, 2020, which approximates fair value. The loan receivable is recorded in miscellaneous other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective yield method. The discount is accreted into income using the effective yield method over the estimated life of the loan receivable. Other Current Liabilities - Other current liabilities were $533 million as of September 30, 2021, and $462 million as of December 31, 2020. Payroll taxes payable, which is a component of other current liabilities, was $132 million as of September 30, 2021, and $125 million as of December 31, 2020. No other component of other current liabilities was more than 5% of total current liabilities. |

Accounting Standards Updates | ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATESIn December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends and simplifies the requirements for income taxes. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption did not result in a material impact to the Company's financial results or disclosures. Accounting pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2021, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |

Acquisitions and Divestitures [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions and Divestitures | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Acquisition of Alion On August 19, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Alion Holding Corp., the parent company of Alion Science and Technology Corporation (“Alion”), a technology-driven solutions provider. The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 – “Business Combinations.” The preliminary purchase price was $1.78 billion, including $148 million of cash received in the acquisition. The purchase price was paid in cash and funded through the net proceeds of the Company’s issuance of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 0.670% Senior Notes due 2023 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 2.043% Senior Notes due 2028, together with the proceeds of a $650 million term loan. See Note 12: Debt. The preliminary purchase price is subject to customary adjustments as provided in the purchase agreement. Alion provides advanced engineering and R&D services in the areas of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, military training and simulation, cyber, data analytics and other next-generation technology based solutions to the DoD and intelligence community customers, with the U.S. Navy representing about one-third of current annual revenues. The table below summarizes the preliminary fair value estimates of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. These estimates are subject to revisions, which may result in an adjustment to the preliminary values presented below. ($ in millions) Preliminary 8/19/2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 148 Accounts receivable 228 Operating lease assets 46 Intangible assets 710 Other identifiable assets acquired 21 Total identifiable assets acquired 1,153 Trade accounts payable 95 Accrued employees' compensation 60 Deferred tax liabilities - noncurrent 177 Operating lease liabilities 49 Other identifiable liabilities assumed 68 Total identifiable liabilities assumed 449 Net identifiable assets acquired 704 Transaction price 1,784 Goodwill $ 1,080 The Company is in various phases of valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition, including right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and tax balances, and its estimate of these values was still preliminary as of September 30, 2021. These provisional amounts are therefore subject to change as the Company continues to evaluate information required to complete the valuations through the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The recognized goodwill is attributable to operational synergies and growth opportunities and was allocated to the Company's Technical Solutions segment. None of the goodwill resulting from this acquisition is expected to be amortizable for tax purposes. Approximately $16 million of one-time acquisition-related costs was included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company identified Alion’s contract backlog and customer relationships as finite-lived assets with fair values of $240 million and $470 million, respectively. The finite-lived assets are subject to amortization under the pattern of benefits method over six years for backlog and 20 years for customer relationships. Total revenue and operating income for Alion for the period from August 19, 2021 through September 30, 2021 were as follows: ($ in millions) Period from 8/19/2021-9/30/2021 Sales and service revenues $ 163 Operating income $ 4 Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited consolidated pro forma summary has been prepared by adjusting the Company's historical data to give effect to the acquisition of Alion as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020. Pro Forma (Unaudited) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ($ in millions, except per share amounts) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Sales and service revenues $ 2,532 $ 2,628 $ 7,687 $ 7,416 Net earnings $ 142 $ 217 $ 416 $ 409 Basic earnings per share $ 3.52 $ 5.34 $ 10.32 $ 10.07 Diluted earnings per share $ 3.52 $ 5.33 $ 10.32 $ 10.05 These unaudited pro forma results include adjustments, such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and interest expense on debt financing, in connection with the acquisition. The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information was prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of the Company. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect events that either have occurred or may occur after the acquisition date, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of operating synergies in subsequent periods. These results also do not give effect to certain charges that the Company expects to incur in connection with the acquisition, including, but not limited to, additional professional fees and employee integration. Other Acquisitions In December 2020, the Company acquired the autonomy business of Spatial Integrated Systems, Inc. ("SIS"), a leading provider of autonomous technology, for approximately $40 million in cash. The acquisition further expanded the Company's unmanned systems capabilities. In connection with this acquisition, the Company preliminarily recorded $40 million of goodwill, which included the value of SIS's workforce, all of which was allocated to the Company's Technical Solutions segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a decrease in goodwill of $13 million, due to a reallocation of purchase price to intangible assets related to technology and existing contract backlog. See Note 10: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of SIS are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In March 2020, the Company acquired Hydroid, Inc. ("Hydroid"), a leading provider of advanced marine robotics to the defense and maritime markets, for approximately $377 million in cash, net of $2 million of acquired cash. The acquisition expanded the Company's capabilities in the strategically important and rapidly growing autonomous and unmanned maritime systems market. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded $239 million of goodwill, which included the value of Hydroid's workforce, and $76 million of intangible assets related to technology and existing contract backlog. See Note 10: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Hydroid are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company funded the SIS and Hydroid acquisitions using cash on hand, issuances of commercial paper, and borrowings on its revolving credit facility. The acquisition costs incurred in connection with these acquisitions were not material. The operating results of these businesses have been included in the Company’s consolidated results as of the respective closing dates of the acquisitions. In allocating the purchase prices of these businesses, the Company considered the estimated fair values of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. The total amount of goodwill resulting from these acquisitions is expected to be amortizable for tax purposes. These acquisitions are not material either individually or in the aggregate, and pro forma revenues and results of operations have therefore not been provided. Divestitures On February 1, 2021, the Company contributed its San Diego Shipyard (“SDSY”) business to a joint venture, Titan Acquisition Holdings, L.P. ("Titan"), in exchange for a non-controlling interest. Titan is a leading provider of ship repair and specialty fabrication services to government and commercial customers. The joint venture contribution was completed as part of the Company’s operating strategy. The Company recognized its interest in Titan at fair value, which approximated $83 million. No gain or loss was recognized in the transaction. The contributed assets and liabilities were previously reported in assets and liabilities held for sale. The Company transferred $22 million to Titan as part of the exchange. On February 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its oil and gas business. The divestiture was completed as part of the Company’s plan to exit this part of the oil and gas industry and focus on its core services and customers.

Disaggregation of Revenue [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contract with Customer | REVENUE The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenues. For more detailed information regarding reportable segments, see Note 8: Segment Information. U.S. Government Contracts The Ingalls and Newport News segments generate revenue primarily from performance under multi-year contracts with the U.S. Government, generally the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, or prime contractors to contracts with the U.S. Government, relating to the advance planning, design, construction, repair, maintenance, refueling, overhaul, or inactivation of nuclear-powered ships and non-nuclear ships. The period over which the Company performs may extend past five years. The Technical Solutions segment also generates the majority of its revenue from contracts with the U.S. Government, including U.S. Government agencies. The Company generally invoices and receives related payments based upon performance progress no less frequently than monthly. Shipbuilding - For most of the Company's shipbuilding contracts, the customer contracts with the Company to provide a comprehensive service of designing, procuring long-lead-time materials, manufacturing, and integrating complex equipment and technologies into a single ship or project, often resulting in a single performance obligation. Contract modifications to account for changes in specifications and requirements are recognized when approved by the customer. In the majority of circumstances, modifications do not result in additional performance obligations that are distinct from the existing performance obligations in the contract, and the effects of the modifications are recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. Alternatively, in instances where the performance obligations in the modifications are deemed distinct, contract modifications are accounted for prospectively. The Company considers incentive and award fees to be variable consideration and includes in the transaction price at inception the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled under the terms and conditions of the contract, generally estimated using a most likely amount approach. Transaction price is limited to the extent of funding allotted by the customer and available for performance, and estimated revenues represent those amounts for which the Company believes a significant reversal of revenue is not probable. The Company recognizes revenues related to shipbuilding contracts as it satisfies the related performance obligations over time using a cost-to-cost input method to measure performance progress, which best reflects the transfer of control to the customer. Services - The Technical Solutions segment generates revenue primarily under U.S. Government contracts. Contracts generally are structured using either an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity ("IDIQ") vehicle, under which orders are issued, or a standalone contract. Contracts may be fixed-price or cost-type, include variable consideration such as incentives and awards, and structured as task orders under an IDIQ contract vehicle or requirements contract vehicle. In either case, the Company generally performs services over a shorter duration and may continue to perform upon exercise of related period of performance options that are also shorter in duration. The Company’s performance obligations vary in nature and may be stand-ready, in which case the Company responds to the customer’s needs on the basis of its demand, a recurring service, typically recurring maintenance services, or a single performance obligation that does not comprise a series of distinct services. In determining transaction price, the Company considers incentives and other contingencies to be variable consideration and includes in the initial transaction price the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled under the terms and conditions of the contract, generally estimated using a most likely amount approach. Transaction price is limited to the extent of funding allotted by the customer and available for performance, and estimated revenues represent those amounts for which the Company believes a significant reversal of revenue is not probable. Where a series of distinct services has been identified, the Company generally allocates variable consideration to distinct time increments of service. The Company generally recognizes revenue as it satisfies the related performance obligations over time using a cost-to-cost input method to measure performance progress, because, even where the Company has identified a series of services, its cost incurrence pattern generally is not ratable given the complex nature of the services the Company provides. Invoices are issued and related payments are received, on the basis of performance progress, no less frequently than monthly. In addition, many of the Company's U.S. Government services contracts are time and material arrangements. As a result, the Company often utilizes the practical expedient allowing the recognition of revenue in the amount the Company invoices, which corresponds with the value provided to the customer and to which the Company is entitled to payment for performance to date. Non-U.S. Government Contracts Revenues generated under commercial and state and local government agency contracts are primarily derived from the provision of nuclear and environmental services. Non-U.S. Government contracts typically are one or two years in duration. In determining transaction price, the Company considers incentives and other contingencies to be variable consideration and includes in the initial transaction price the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled under the terms and conditions of the contract, generally estimated using a most likely amount approach. In the context of variable consideration, the Company limits the transaction price to amounts for which the Company believes a significant reversal of revenue is not probable. Such amounts may relate to transaction price in excess of funding, a lack of history with the customer, a lack of history with the goods or services being provided, or other items. Revenue generally is recognized over time given the terms and conditions of the related contracts. The Company generally utilizes a cost-to-cost input method to measure performance progress, which best reflects the transfer of control to the customer. The Company’s non-U.S. Government contract portfolio is comprised of a large number of time and material arrangements. As a result, the Company often utilizes the practical expedient allowing the recognition of revenue in the amount the Company invoices, which corresponds with the value provided to the customer and to which the Company is entitled to payment for performance to date. Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables present revenues on a disaggregated basis, in a manner that reconciles with the Company's reportable segment disclosures, for the following categories: product versus service type, customer type, contract type, and major program. The Company believes that this level of disaggregation provides investors with information to evaluate the Company’s financial performance and provides the Company with information to make capital allocation decisions in the most appropriate manner.

Cumulative Catch-up Adjustments For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net cumulative catch-up adjustments increased operating income and increased diluted earnings per share by $21 million and $0.41, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net cumulative catch-up adjustments increased operating income and increased diluted earnings per share by $4 million and $0.08, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cumulative catch-up adjustments increased operating income and increased diluted earnings per share by $106 million and $2.07, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cumulative catch-up adjustments decreased operating income and decreased diluted earnings per share by $75 million and $1.45, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, no individual cumulative catch-up adjustment was material to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. No individual cumulative catch-up adjustment was material to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Cumulative catch-up adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, included unfavorable adjustments of $134 million relating to Block IV of the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program at the Company's Newport News segment, which decreased diluted earnings per share by $2.60. While other unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, were not individually material, cost estimates for discrete delay and disruption from COVID-19 Events drove $61 million of unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments across our contracts, including $16 million relating to Block IV of the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program, which is included in the $134 million unfavorable adjustments discussed above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, no individual favorable cumulative catch-up adjustment was material to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Contract Balances Contract balances include accounts receivable, contract assets, and contract liabilities associated with customer contracts. Accounts receivable represent an unconditional right to consideration and include amounts billed and currently due from customers. Contract assets primarily relate to the Company's rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date when the right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Fixed-price contracts are generally billed to the customer using either progress payments, whereby amounts are billed monthly as costs are incurred or work is completed, or performance based payments, which are based upon the achievement of specific, measurable events or accomplishments defined and valued at contract inception. Cost-type contracts are typically billed to the customer on a monthly or semi-monthly basis. Contract liabilities relate to advance payments, billings in excess of revenues, and deferred revenue amounts. The Company reports contract balances in a net contract asset or contract liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company’s net contract assets increased $225 million from December 31, 2020, to September 30, 2021, primarily resulting from an increase in contract assets related to revenue on certain U.S. Navy contracts and the acquisition of Alion. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not recognize revenue related to its contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $447 million related to its contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $9 million and $265 million, respectively, related to its contract liabilities as of December 31, 2019. |

Other Intangible Assets The Company's purchased intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis or a method based on the pattern of benefits over their estimated useful lives. Net intangible assets consist primarily of amounts relating to customer relationships and existing contract backlog within Technical Solutions, as well as nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and submarine program intangible assets, with an aggregate weighted-average useful life of 29 years based on the long life cycle of the related programs. Aggregate amortization expense was $22 million and $15 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Aggregate amortization expense was $48 million and $41 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In connection with the Alion purchase in August 2021, the Company recorded $710 million of intangible assets pertaining to customer relationships and existing contract backlog, which is being amortized using the pattern of benefits method over a weighted-average life of 15 years. In connection with the SIS purchase in 2020, the Company recorded $13 million of intangible assets pertaining to technology and existing contract backlog, which is being amortized using the pattern of benefits method over a weighted-average life of ten years. In connection with the Hydroid purchase in 2020, the Company recorded $76 million of intangible assets pertaining to existing contract backlog, customer relationships, and technology, which is being amortized using the pattern of benefits method over a weighted-average life of nine years. The Company expects amortization expense for purchased intangible assets of approximately $86 million in 2021, $142 million in 2022, $129 million in 2023, $108 million in 2024, and $98 million in 2025. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES The Company's earnings are primarily domestic, and its effective income tax rates on earnings from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were (4.3)% and 1.8%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company's effective income tax rates on earnings from operations were 10.7% and 11.8%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily attributable to research and development tax credits for prior periods. The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was attributable to an increase in research and development tax credits for prior periods and a tax loss associated with the sale of the Company’s oil and gas business, partially offset by an increase in unrecognized tax benefits. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of the research and development tax credits for prior periods. The Company's unrecognized tax benefits increased by $32 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the estimated amounts of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were liabilities of $84 million. Assuming a sustainment of these tax positions, the reversal of $68 million of the accrued amounts would favorably affect the Company's effective federal income tax rate in future periods. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest resulting from the unrecognized tax benefits noted above increased income tax expense by $1 million and $2 million, respectively. Non-current state income taxes include deferred state income taxes, which reflect the change in deferred state tax assets and liabilities, and the tax expense or benefit associated with changes in unrecognized state tax benefits in the relevant period. These amounts are recorded within operating income. Current period state income tax expense is charged to contract costs and included in cost of sales and service revenues in segment operating income. |

The Revolving Credit Facility has a variable interest rate on outstanding borrowings based on London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus a spread based upon the Company's credit rating, which may vary between 1.125% and 2.000%. As of September 30, 2021, the interest rate spread on drawn amounts was 1.375% based on the Company's current credit rating. The Revolving Credit Facility also has a commitment fee rate on unutilized amounts, currently 0.200%, and includes a letter of credit subfacility of $300 million. Term Loan - In August 2021, the Company entered into a $650 million 3-year delayed draw term loan (the “Term Loan”) to finance a portion of the purchase price for Alion. The Term Loan must be repaid prior to or at maturity, which is 36 months from the date of the initial draw. The Term Loan has a variable interest rate on outstanding borrowings based on LIBOR, plus a spread based upon the Company's credit rating, which may vary between 1.125% and 2.000%. As of September 30, 2021, the annual interest rate spread was 1.375% based on the Company's current credit rating. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $16 million in issued but undrawn letters of credit and $1,484 million unutilized under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company had unamortized debt issuance costs associated with its credit facilities of $14 million and $5 million as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as a financial covenant based on a maximum total leverage ratio. Each of the Company's existing and future material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, except those that are specifically designated as unrestricted subsidiaries, are and will be guarantors under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan. See Note 17: Subsidiary Guarantors. Senior Notes - I n August 2021, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of callable unregistered 0.670% senior notes due 2023 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of unregistered 2.043% senior notes due 2028, both with registration rights. The net proceeds were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Alion. Interest on these senior notes is payable semiannually. The terms of the Company’s senior notes limit the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to create liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, sell assets, and effect consolidations or mergers. The Company had unamortized debt issuance costs associated with its senior notes of $20 million and $14 million as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. Under the Company's unsecured commercial paper program, the Company may issue up to $1 billion of unsecured commercial paper notes. The Company's debt arrangements contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. |

Investigations, Claims, And Litigation [Abstract] | |
Investigations, Claims, And Litigation | INVESTIGATIONS, CLAIMS, AND LITIGATION The Company is involved in legal proceedings before various courts and administrative agencies, and is periodically subject to government examinations, inquiries and investigations. Pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 450 Contingencies, the Company has accrued for losses associated with investigations, claims, and litigation when, and to the extent that, loss amounts related to the investigations, claims, and litigation are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual losses that might be incurred to resolve such investigations, claims, and litigation may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued. For matters where a material loss is probable or reasonably possible and the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, but the Company is able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, the Company will disclose such estimated range in these notes. This estimated range is based on information currently available to the Company and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss does not represent the Company's maximum possible loss exposure. For matters as to which the Company is not able to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss, the Company will indicate the reasons why it is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss. For matters not specifically described in these notes, the Company does not believe, based on information currently available to it, that it is reasonably possible that the liabilities, if any, arising from such investigations, claims, and litigation will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has, in certain cases, provided disclosure regarding certain matters for which the Company believes at this time that the likelihood of material loss is remote. False Claims Act Complaint - In 2016, the Company was made aware that it is a defendant in a qui tam False Claims Act lawsuit pending in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida related to the Company’s purchases of allegedly non-conforming parts from a supplier for use in connection with U.S. Government contracts. In August 2019, the Department of Justice (“DoJ”) declined to intervene in the lawsuit, and the lawsuit was unsealed. The court dismissed the complaint in September 2021, and the plaintiff has appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Insurance Claims - In September 2020, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court, State of Vermont, Franklin Unit, seeking a judgment declaring that the Company's business interruption and other losses associated with COVID-19 are covered by the Company's property insurance program. A total of 32 reinsurers are named as defendants in the complaint. The Company also has initiated arbitration proceedings against six other reinsurers seeking similar relief. Prior to filing the complaint and initiating the arbitration proceedings, the Company provided a notice of loss to the reinsurers, but, to date, none of the reinsurers have acknowledged coverage. The full extent of the Company's losses resulting from COVID-19 have not yet been determined. In July 2021, the Vermont court granted the reinsurers’ motion for judgment on the pleadings, finding that, because the Company continued to operate through the pandemic, the Company’s reduction of business not accompanied by a complete loss of use fell short of the required “direct physical loss or damage to property.” The Company has appealed the decision to the Vermont Supreme Court. Although the Company still believes its position is well-founded, no assurances can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution of this matter. In September 2021, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Delaware, seeking a judgment against certain insurers for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under three representations and warranties insurance policies purchased in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Hydroid. The policies insure the Company against losses relating to the seller’s breach of certain representations and warranties in the Hydroid acquisition agreement. The coverage limit under the insurance policies is $70 million, and the Company believes it has incurred losses equal to at least that amount as a result of breaches of the acquisition agreement. No assurances can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution of this matter. U.S. Government Investigations and Claims - Departments and agencies of the U.S. Government have the authority to investigate various transactions and operations of the Company, and the results of such investigations may lead to administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of which could be fines, penalties, repayments or compensatory, treble, or other damages. U.S. Government regulations provide that certain findings against a contractor may also lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracts or the loss of export privileges. Any suspension or debarment would have a material effect on the Company because of its reliance on government contracts. Asbestos Related Claims - HII and its predecessors-in-interest are defendants in a longstanding series of cases that have been and continue to be filed in various jurisdictions around the country, wherein former and current employees and various third parties allege exposure to asbestos containing materials while on or associated with HII premises or while working on vessels constructed or repaired by HII. The cases allege various injuries, including those associated with pleural plaque disease, asbestosis, cancer, mesothelioma, and other alleged asbestos related conditions. In some cases, several of HII's former executive officers are also named as defendants. In some instances, partial or full insurance coverage is available to the Company for its liability and that of its former executive officers. The costs to resolve cases during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were immaterial individually and in the aggregate. The Company’s estimate of asbestos-related liabilities is subject to uncertainty because liabilities are influenced by numerous variables that are inherently difficult to predict. Key variables include the number and type of new claims, the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation. Although the Company believes the ultimate resolution of current cases will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, it cannot predict what new or revised claims or litigation might be asserted or what information might come to light and can, therefore, give no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of asbestos related litigation. Other Litigation - In March 2019, a new dry dock being transported for delivery to Ingalls by a heavy lift ship struck an Ingalls work barge, which in turn was pushed into USS Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) causing damage to USS Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), the work barge, and the new dry dock. At the time of the incident, responsibility for the new dry dock remained with the builder and the transport company. Repair work on USS Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) was completed at U.S. Navy direction. In April 2019, the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi seeking, among other relief, damages from negligent third parties. In July 2021, an agreement was reached with the defendants to resolve the Company’s remaining claims, and the agreement was funded in September 2021, ending the Company's involvement in the litigation. The Company and its predecessor-in-interest have been in litigation with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (the "Republic") since 2002 over a contract for the repair, refurbishment, and modernization at Ingalls of two foreign-built frigates. In March 2014, the Company filed an arbitral statement of claim asserting breaches of the contract. The Republic denied the Company’s allegations and asserted counterclaims. In February 2018, the arbitral tribunal awarded the Company approximately $151 million on its claims and awarded the Republic approximately $22 million on its counterclaims. The Company is seeking to enforce and execute upon the award in multiple jurisdictions. No assurances can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution of this matter. The Company is party to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business, including U.S. Government investigations that could result in administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings involving the Company. The Company is a contractor with the U.S. Government, and such proceedings can therefore include False Claims Act allegations against the Company. Although the Company believes that the resolution of these other claims, legal proceedings and investigations will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, the Company cannot predict what new or revised claims or litigation might be asserted or what information might come to light and can, therefore, give no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of these matters. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contract Performance Contingencies - Contract profit margins may include estimates of revenues for matters on which the customer and the Company have not reached agreement, such as settlements in the process of negotiation, contract changes, claims, and requests for equitable adjustment for unanticipated contract costs. These estimates are based upon management's best assessment of the underlying causal events and circumstances and recognized to the extent of expected recovery based upon contractual entitlements and the probability of successful negotiation with the customer. As of September 30, 2021, amounts recognized in connection with claims and requests for equitable adjustment were not material individually or in the aggregate. Guarantees of Performance Obligations - From time to time in the ordinary course of business, HII enters into joint ventures, teaming agreements, and other business arrangements in connection with the Company's products and services or to pursue strategic objectives. The Company attempts to limit its exposure under these arrangements to its investment or the extent of obligations under the applicable contract. In some cases, however, HII may be required to guarantee performance of the arrangement's obligations and, in such cases, generally obtains cross-indemnification from the other members of the arrangement. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may guarantee obligations of its subsidiaries under certain contracts. Generally, the Company is liable under such guarantees only if its subsidiary is unable to perform its obligations. Historically, the Company has not incurred any substantial liabilities resulting from these guarantees. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was not aware of any existing event of default that would require it to satisfy any of these guarantees. Environmental Matters - The estimated cost to complete environmental remediation has been accrued when it is probable that the Company will incur such costs in the future to address environmental conditions at currently or formerly owned or leased operating facilities, or at sites where it has been named a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") by the Environmental Protection Agency or similarly designated by another environmental agency, and the related costs can be estimated by management. These accruals do not include any litigation costs related to environmental matters, nor do they include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. To assess the potential impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, management estimates the range of reasonably possible remediation costs that could be incurred by the Company, taking into account currently available facts on each site, as well as the current state of technology and prior experience remediating contaminated sites. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect changes in facts and technical and legal circumstances. Management estimates that as of September 30, 2021, the probable estimable future cost for environmental remediation was immaterial. Factors that could result in changes to the Company's estimates include: modification of planned remedial actions, increases or decreases in the estimated time required to remediate, changes to the determination of legally responsible parties, discovery of more extensive contamination than anticipated, changes in laws and regulations affecting remediation requirements, and improvements in remediation technology. Should other PRPs not pay their allocable share of remediation costs, the Company may incur costs exceeding those already estimated and accrued. In addition, there are certain potential remediation sites where the costs of remediation cannot be reasonably estimated. Although management cannot predict whether new information gained as remediation progresses will materially affect the estimated liability accrued, management does not believe that future remediation expenditures will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Financial Arrangements - In the ordinary course of business, HII uses letters of credit issued by commercial banks to support certain leases, insurance policies, and contractual performance obligations, as well as surety bonds issued by insurance companies principally to support the Company's self-insured workers' compensation plans. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $16 million in issued but undrawn letters of credit, as indicated in Note 12: Debt, and $276 million of surety bonds outstanding. U.S. Government Claims - From time to time, the U.S. Government communicates to the Company potential claims, disallowed costs, and penalties concerning prior costs incurred by the Company with which the U.S. Government disagrees. When such preliminary findings are presented, the Company and U.S. Government representatives engage in discussions, from which the Company evaluates the merits of the claims and assesses the amounts being questioned. Although the Company believes that the resolution of any of these matters will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, it cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters. Other Matters - In 1985, the Company and the U.S. Navy entered into a settlement agreement to resolve disputes associated with billing and allocating to contracts the cost of workers’ compensation self-insurance, among other matters. In 2016, the Defense Contract Audit Agency ("DCAA") opined that the 1985 settlement agreement did not comply with certain CAS standards and referred the matter to a U.S. Navy Contracting Officer. In December 2020, the Contracting Officer issued a determination that the 1985 settlement agreement did not comply with CAS and directed the Company to develop and implement a different process to bill and allocate the cost of workers’ compensation self-insurance. Under the 1985 settlement agreement, the Company has not recognized as allowable cumulative billable costs of approximately $120 million due to the difference between CAS and U.S. GAAP Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") treatment of workers’ compensation cost. Under the 1985 settlement agreement, these costs would be recognized as allowable billable costs in future periods. Though the Company believes the 1985 settlement agreement is CAS-compliant and cannot be unilaterally terminated, the Company will seek to negotiate a resolution of the matter with the Contracting Officer. If a resolution results in the use of a different treatment or billing methodology that does not provide for the Company to recognize as allowable the CAS to FAS difference, the resolution could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, including an inability to recover any or all of the $120 million of costs not yet billed to the customer. Collective Bargaining Agreements - Of the Company's approximately 44,000 employees, approximately 45% are covered by a total of nine collective bargaining agreements and one site stabilization agreement. Newport News has three collective bargaining agreements covering represented employees, which expire in November 2021, December 2022, and April 2024. The collective bargaining agreement that expires in November 2021 covers approximately 50% of Newport News employees. Newport News craft workers employed at the Kesselring Site near Saratoga Springs, New York are represented under an indefinite Department of Energy ("DoE") site agreement. Ingalls has five collective bargaining agreements covering represented employees, all of which expire in March 2022. Approximately 15 Technical Solutions employees in Klamath Falls, Oregon are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that expires in June 2025. The Company believes its relationship with its employees is satisfactory. Collective bargaining agreements generally expire after three Purchase Obligations - Periodically the Company enters into agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. These obligations are primarily comprised of open purchase order commitments to vendors and subcontractors pertaining to funded contracts. |

Employee Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits | EMPLOYEE PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company provides eligible employees defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, and defined contribution pension plans. The costs of the Company's defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Pension Benefits Other Benefits Pension Benefits Other Benefits ($ in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost Service cost $ 50 $ 45 $ 2 $ 2 $ 149 $ 135 $ 7 $ 7 Interest cost 60 64 4 4 180 193 11 12 Expected return on plan assets (138) (122) — — (414) (365) — — Amortization of prior service cost (credit) 3 3 (1) (5) 11 9 (3) (16) Amortization of net actuarial loss (gain) 28 28 (1) (2) 82 82 (2) (5) Net periodic benefit cost $ 3 $ 18 $ 4 $ (1) $ 8 $ 54 $ 13 $ (2) The Company made the following contributions to its defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Nine Months Ended ($ in millions) 2021 2020 Pension plans Discretionary Qualified $ 60 $ 205 Non-qualified 6 6 Other benefit plans 28 25 Total contributions $ 94 $ 236 As of September 30, 2021, the Company anticipates no further significant cash contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2021. In August 2021, the Company amended its postretirement benefit plan for represented post-65 participants, which replaced a Company-sponsored indemnity plan with coverage offered through a third-party vendor. As a result of the amendment, the remeasurement of the plan decreased the postretirement liability and pre-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss by approximately $14 million. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HII and its subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. For classification of current assets and liabilities related to its long-term production contracts, the Company uses the duration of these contracts as its operating cycle, which is generally longer than one year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary by management for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. |
Fiscal Period Policy | The quarterly information is labeled using a calendar convention; that is, first quarter is consistently labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is management's long-standing practice to establish interim closing dates using a "fiscal" calendar, which requires the businesses to close their books on a Friday near these quarter-end dates in order to normalize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closings on business processes. The effects of this practice only exist for interim periods within a reporting year. |
Accounting Estimates | Accounting Estimates - The preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
Government Grants | Government Grants - The Company recognizes incentive grants, inclusive of transfers of depreciable assets, from federal, state, and local governments at fair value upon compliance with the conditions of their receipt and reasonable assurance that the grants will be received or the depreciable assets will be transferred. Grants in recognition of specific expenses are recognized in the same period as an offset to those related expenses. Grants related to depreciable assets are recognized over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation expense on those assets is recognized. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized cash grant benefits of approximately $11 million in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. For the |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Except for the Company's long-term debt, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments recorded at historical cost approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and low credit risk associated with the respective counterparties. |
Loan Receivable | Loan Receivable - The Company holds a loan receivable in connection with the financing of the sale of its previously owned Avondale Shipyard facility. The receivable was carried at amortized cost of $36 million, net of $13 million of loan discount as of September 30, 2021, and at amortized cost of $34 million, net of $15 million of loan discount as of December 31, 2020, which approximates fair value. The loan receivable is recorded in miscellaneous other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective yield method. The discount is accreted into income using the effective yield method over the estimated life of the loan receivable. |
Other Current Liabilities | Other Current Liabilities - Other current liabilities were $533 million as of September 30, 2021, and $462 million as of December 31, 2020. Payroll taxes payable, which is a component of other current liabilities, was $132 million as of September 30, 2021, and $125 million as of December 31, 2020. No other component of other current liabilities was more than 5% of total current liabilities. |
