Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2021 and for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to state fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit), and Statements of Cash Flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented. The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Change in Presentation As further described in the Form 10-K, during the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company updated its revenue disaggregation presentation of major products and services to provide a more comprehensive view of technologies within the Company's reporting segments. Accordingly, the Company now reports net sales in the following three major products and services (which the Company refers to as “technologies” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”)): Land Mobile Radio Mission Critical Communications (“LMR” or “LMR Mission Critical Communications”), Video Security and Analytics, and Command Center Software. • LMR Mission Critical Communications: Infrastructure, devices (two-way radio and broadband, including both for public safety and Professional Commercial Radio ("PCR")) and software that enable communications, inclusive of installation and integration, backed by services, to assure availability, security and resiliency. • Video Security and Analytics: Cameras (fixed, body-worn, in-vehicle), access control, infrastructure, video management, software and artificial intelligence-enabled analytics that enable visibility “on scene” and bring attention to what’s important. • Command Center Software: Software suite that enables collaboration and seamless information sharing through the public safety workflow from 911 call to case closure. Recent Acquisitions On August 28, 2020, the Company acquired the Callyo business ("Callyo"), a cloud-based mobile applications provider for law enforcement in North America for $63 million, inclusive of share-based compensation withheld at a fair value of $3 million that will be expensed over an average service period of two years. The acquisition was settled with $61 million in cash, net of cash acquired. This acquisition adds to the Company's existing Command Center Software suite critical mobile technological capabilities that enable information to flow seamlessly from the field to the command center. The business is a part of the Software and Services segment. On July 31, 2020, the Company acquired Pelco, Inc. ("Pelco"), a global provider of video security solutions for a purchase price of $110 million. The acquisition was settled with $107 million of cash, net of cash acquired. The acquisition demonstrates the Company's continued investment in Video Security and Analytics, adding a broad range of products that can be used in a variety of commercial and industrial environments and use cases. The business is a part of both the Products and Systems Integration segment and the Software and Services segment. On June 16, 2020, the Company acquired IndigoVision Group plc ("IndigoVision") for a purchase price of $37 million. The acquisition was settled with $35 million of cash, net of cash acquired and debt assumed. The acquisition complements the Company's Video Security and Analytics technology, providing enhanced geographical reach across a wider customer base. The business is a part of both the Products and Systems Integration segment and the Software and Services segment. On April 30, 2020, the Company acquired a cybersecurity services business for $32 million of cash, net of cash acquired. The acquisition expands the Company's ability to assist customers with cybersecurity needs through vulnerability assessments, cybersecurity consulting, and managed services including security monitoring of network operations. The business is a part of the Software and Services segment. On March 3, 2020, the Company acquired a cybersecurity services business for $40 million, inclusive of share-based compensation withheld at a fair value of $6 million that will be expensed over a service period of two years. The acquisition was settled with $33 million of cash, net of cash acquired. The acquisition expands the Company's ability to assist customers with cybersecurity needs through vulnerability assessments, cybersecurity consulting, managed services and remediation and response capabilities. The business is a part of the Software and Services segment. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity," which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments. The new guidance removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, the new standard provides guidance on calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share. The ASU clarifies that the average market price should be used to calculate the diluted earnings per share denominator when the exercise price or the number of shares that may be issued is variable. The ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The ASU permits the use of either a full or modified retrospective method of adoption. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740),” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and streamlining other areas of accounting for income taxes. Portions of the amendment within the ASU require retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective adoption methods. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.

The transaction values associated with remaining performance obligations which were not yet satisfied as of April 3, 2021 was $7.2 billion. A total of $3.3 billion was from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that are not yet satisfied, of which $1.6 billion is expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. The remaining amounts will generally be satisfied over time as systems are implemented. A total of $3.9 billion was from Software and Services performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of April 3, 2021. The determination of Software and Services performance obligations that are not satisfied takes into account a contract term that may be limited by the customer’s ability to terminate for convenience. Where termination for convenience exists in the Company's service contracts, its disclosure of the remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied assumes the contract term is limited until renewal. The Company expects to recognize $1.5 billion from unsatisfied Software and Services performance obligations over the next twelve months, with the remaining performance obligations to be recognized over time as services are performed and software is implemented.

Revenue of $4 million was reversed during the three months ended April 3, 2021 related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied, in previous periods, primarily driven by changes in the estimates of progress on system contracts, compared to $19 million of reversals for the three months ended March 28, 2020. There were no material expected credit losses recognized on contract assets during each of the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020.

This loss has been recognized in Other charges in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 28, 2020, the Company recorded a $50 million gain on the sale of a manufacturing facility in Europe. This gain has been recognized in Other charges in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three months ended March 28, 2020, 0.2 million options were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. As of April 3, 2021, the Company had $1.0 billion of 1.75% Senior Convertible Notes outstanding which mature on September 15, 2024 ("Senior Convertible Notes"). The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 4.9140 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $203.50 per share). In the event of conversion, the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash. Because of the Company’s intention to settle the par value of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash, Motorola Solutions does not reflect any shares underlying the Senior Convertible Notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per share for the period exceeds the conversion price. Only the number of shares that would be issuable (under the treasury stock method of accounting for share dilution) will be included, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price exceeds the conversion price of $203.50. The conversion price is adjusted for dividends declared through the date of settlement. For the period ended April 3, 2021, there was no dilutive effect of the Senior Convertible Notes on diluted earnings per share attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. as the average stock price for the period outstanding was below the conversion price.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Risk Management	Risk Management Foreign Currency Risk The Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.2 billion for each of the periods ended April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions. The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of April 3, 2021, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2020: Notional Amount Net Buy (Sell) by Currency April 3, 2021 December 31, 2020 Euro $ 170 $ 177 Canadian dollar 50 61 Norwegian krone 35 32 Chinese renminbi (94) (90) Australian dollar (82) (88) Counterparty Risk The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of April 3, 2021, all of the counterparties had investment grade credit ratings. As of April 3, 2021, the Company had $7 million of exposure to aggregate credit risk with all counterparties.

The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of the net investment hedges as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive income to offset a portion of the change in translated value of the net investments being hedged, until the investments are sold or liquidated. As of April 3, 2021, the Company had €100 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £125 million of net investment hedges in certain British pound functional subsidiaries.

(“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented. The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with each fiscal year ending on December 31. With respect to each fiscal quarter, the Company operates on a 13-week fiscal quarter, with all fiscal quarters ending on a Saturday. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity," which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments. The new guidance removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, the new standard provides guidance on calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share. The ASU clarifies that the average market price should be used to calculate the diluted earnings per share denominator when the exercise price or the number of shares that may be issued is variable. The ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The ASU permits the use of either a full or modified retrospective method of adoption. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740),” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and streamlining other areas of accounting for income taxes. Portions of the amendment within the ASU require retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective adoption methods. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.
