Environmental Remediation Range of Future Costs [Line Items]

Environmental Remediation [Table Text Block]

The table below summarizes management’s estimate of the range of reasonably possible future costs for environmental remediation, the amount accrued within that range, and the deferred costs expected to be recoverable through overhead charges on U.S. government contracts as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

$ in millions	Range of Reasonably Possible Future Costs(1)	Accrued Costs(2)		Deferred Costs(3)
September 30, 2018	$455 - $835	$	469	$	348
December 31, 2017	405 - 792	410		207

⁽¹⁾  Estimated remediation costs are not discounted to present value. The range of reasonably possible future costs does not take into consideration amounts expected to be recoverable through overhead charges on U.S. government contracts.

⁽²⁾ As of September 30, 2018, $163 million is recorded in Other current liabilities and $306 million is recorded in Other non-current liabilities.

⁽³⁾ As of September 30, 2018, $124 million is deferred in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $224 million is deferred in Other non-current assets. These amounts reflect a $103 million increase during the third quarter of 2018 in our estimated recovery of certain environmental remediation costs and are evaluated for recoverability on a routine basis.
