Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 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, 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, 2022 (the "Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 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.

The transaction value associated with remaining performance obligations which were not yet satisfied as of September 30, 2023 was $9.3 billion. A total of $4.9 billion was from Products and Systems Integration performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of September 30, 2023, of which $3.1 billion is expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. The remaining amounts will generally be satisfied over time as systems are implemented. Remaining performance obligations from the Products and Systems Integration segment are equal to disclosed backlog for the segment. A total of $4.4 billion was from Software and Services performance obligations that were not yet satisfied as of September 30, 2023. 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. As a result, remaining performance obligations from the Software and Services segment may be less than disclosed backlog in the Software and Services segment due to multi-year service contracts with termination for convenience clauses. 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 generally to be recognized over time as services are performed and software is implemented.

It is the Company's policy to re-evaluate the reserve when certain events become known that will impact the future cash payments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company became aware of incremental costs required in its remediation of the Superfund site. As such, the Company recorded a charge of $15 million, increasing the reserve balance to $127 million. The Company discounted the cash flows used in estimating this accrual using a risk-free treasury rate. The current portion of the estimated environmental liability is $4 million and is included in the Accrued liabilities statement line and the non-current portion is included in the "Other liabilities" statement line within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended October 1, 2022, the assumed exercise of 0.4 million options, inclusive of 0.2 million options subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended October 1, 2022, the assumed exercise of 0.2 million options, inclusive of 0.1 million options subject to market based contingent option agreements, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes outstanding, which mature on September 15, 2024 (the "Senior Convertible Notes"). The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 4.9670 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to a conversion price of $201.33 per share), adjusted for dividends declared through the date of settlement. The notes became fully convertible as of September 5, 2021, when the average stock price exceeded the contractual conversion price, providing the holders the option to convert all or any portion of their Senior Convertible Notes. In November 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved an irrevocable determination requiring the future settlement of the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes to be settled in cash. Because the Company has irrevocably decided to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash, the Company did 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 exceeded the conversion price, which first occurred for the quarter ended October 2, 2021. Upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes, the Company has the option to settle the conversion spread in cash or shares. The Company included the number of shares that would be issuable upon conversion in the Company’s computation of diluted earnings per share, based on the amount by which the average stock price exceeded the conversion price for the period ended September 30, 2023. The value by which the Senior Convertible Notes exceeded their principal amount if converted as of September 30, 2023 was $398 million.

The recognized impairment was based on the Company's expectation that, more likely than not, the ESN long-lived asset group will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life as a result of the Company's early exit from its ESN contract with the Home Office. The impairment loss was recorded in the Software and Services segment within cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 was $47 million and $45 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a $2.25 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in March 2026 (the "2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement"). The 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sub-limit and fronting commitments of $450 million. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate plus the applicable margin, or at a spread above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), at the Company's option. An annual facility fee is payable on the undrawn amount of the credit line. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment if the Company's credit rating changes. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of September 30, 2023. On February 8, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement to replace the interest rate benchmark from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to SOFR. The Company has an unsecured commercial paper program, backed by the 2021 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement, under which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.2 billion outstanding at any one time. Proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The notes are issued at a zero-coupon rate and are issued at a discount which reflects the interest component. At maturity, the notes are paid back in full including the interest component. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. As of September 30, 2023 the Company had no outstanding debt under the commercial paper program.

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 $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion for periods ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. 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 September 30, 2023, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2022: Notional Amount Net Buy (Sell) by Currency September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 British pound $ 262 $ 290 Euro 250 185 Australian dollar (124) (130) Canadian dollar 75 — Chinese renminbi (68) (61) 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 September 30, 2023, all of the counterparties had investment grade credit ratings. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $10 million of exposure to aggregate credit risk with all counterparties. Derivative Financial Instruments The following tables summarize the fair values and locations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of all derivative financial instruments held by the Company as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: Fair Values of Derivative Instruments September 30, 2023 Other Current Assets Accrued Liabilities Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts $ 9 $ — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts 1 19 Equity swap contracts — 1 Total derivatives $ 10 $ 20 Fair Values of Derivative Instruments December 31, 2022 Other Current Assets Accrued Liabilities Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts $ — $ 5 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts 15 — Total derivatives $ 15 $ 5 The following table summarizes the effect of derivatives on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022: Financial Statement Location Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 October 1, 2022 September 30, 2023 October 1, 2022 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts Accumulated other $ 9 $ 12 $ 5 $ 24 Forward points recognized Other income (expense) 1 1 2 1 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts Other income (expense) (26) (54) (9) (111) Equity swap contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses (1) — (1) — Net Investment Hedges The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of the British pound and the Euro exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar on a portion of its net investments in certain European operations. 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 September 30, 2023, the Company had €100 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £70 million of net investment hedges in a British pound functional subsidiary. The Company excludes the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate of the forward contract from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. The effect of the forward points recognized will be amortized on a straight line basis and recognized through interest expense within Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Equity Swap Contracts During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into equity swap contracts which serve as economic hedges against volatility within the equity markets, impacting the Company's deferred compensation plan obligations. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The notional amount of these contracts as of September 30, 2023 was $15 million.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax expense in interim periods is calculated at the estimated annual effective tax rate plus or minus the tax effects of items of income and expense that are discrete to the period. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods. The following table provides details of income taxes: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 October 1, 2022 September 30, 2023 October 1, 2022 Net earnings before income taxes $ 592 $ 333 $ 1,438 $ 852 Income tax expense 127 53 321 75 Effective tax rate 21 % 16 % 22 % 9 % The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of 21% was equal to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense, offset by the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation and favorable US return-to-provision adjustments. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 22% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense, partially offset by the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation and favorable US return-to-provision adjustments. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2022 of 16% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 of 9% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a net deferred tax benefit of $77 million as a result of an intra-group transfer of certain intellectual property ("IP") rights and the excess tax benefits of share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of 21% was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2022 of 16%, primarily due to lower excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2023, partially offset by more favorable US return-to-provision adjustments in 2023. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 22% was higher than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 of 9%, primarily due to a net deferred tax benefit in 2022 as a result of an intra-group transfer of certain IP rights, lower excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2023 and a lower foreign derived intangible income deduction in 2023, partially offset by more favorable US return-to-provision adjustments in 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters Hytera Litigation On March 14, 2017, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "Court") against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited of Shenzhen, China; Hytera America, Inc.; and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. (collectively, "Hytera"), alleging trade secret theft and copyright infringement and seeking, among other things, injunctive relief, compensatory damages and punitive damages. On February 14, 2020, the Company announced that a jury decided in the Company's favor in its trade secret theft and copyright infringement case. In connection with this verdict, the jury awarded the Company $345.8 million in compensatory damages and $418.8 million in punitive damages, for a total of $764.6 million. In a series of post-trial rulings in 2021, the Court subsequently reduced the judgment to $543.7 million, but also ordered Hytera to pay the Company $51.1 million in pre-judgment interest and $2.6 million in costs, as well as $34.2 million in attorneys fees. The Company continues to seek collection of the judgment through the ongoing legal process. On December 17, 2020, the Court held that Hytera must pay the Company a forward-looking reasonable royalty on products that use the Company’s stolen trade secrets, and on December 15, 2021, set royalty rates for Hytera's sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 forward. On July 5, 2022, the Court ordered that Hytera pay into a third-party escrow on July 31, 2022, the royalties owed to the Company based on the sale of relevant products from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2022. Hytera failed to make the required royalty payment on July 31, 2022. On August 1, 2022, Hytera filed a motion to modify or stay the Court's previous July 5, 2022 royalty order, which the Court denied on July 11, 2023. On August 3, 2022, the Company filed a motion seeking to hold Hytera in civil contempt for violating the royalty order by not making the required royalty payment on July 31, 2022. On August 26, 2023, the Court granted the Company's contempt motion. As a result, on September 1, 2023, Hytera made a payment of $56 million into the third-party escrow. In addition to the September 1, 2023 payment of $56 million, Hytera has made de minimis regular quarterly royalty payments into the third-party escrow from October 2022 through October 2023. The aggregate amount paid into escrow will not be recognized until all contingencies are resolved and such amount is released from escrow. On August 2, 2022, Hytera appealed the Court's July 5, 2022 judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the "Court of Appeals"). The Company filed its cross-appeal on August 5, 2022. The parties have now submitted all briefs and responses on Hytera's appeal and the Company's cross-appeal. The Court of Appeals set an oral argument date of December 5, 2023. Hytera Bankruptcy Proceedings Separate from the Company's litigation with Hytera, on May 27, 2020, Hytera America, Inc. and Hytera Communications America (West), Inc. each filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On February 11, 2022, the Court entered an order to confirm the liquidation plan for the two Hytera entities and the distributions were made on February 25, 2022 to the creditors, including a distribution of $13 million to the Company. On December 22, 2022, an additional distribution of $2 million was made to the Company as well as an assignment of various delinquent accounts receivable of the bankrupt Hytera entities. The gains for the two monetary distributions were recorded to Other charges (income) in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 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.
