Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
BACKLOG
NOTE E: CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized exceeding amounts billed to customers for contracts utilizing the percentage of completion (“POC”) cost-to-cost revenue recognition method. We bill customers as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals, upon achievement of contractual milestones or upon deliveries and, in certain arrangements, the customer may withhold payment of a small portion of the contract price until contract completion. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized, including deferred revenue associated with extended product warranties. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Contract assets and contract liabilities are summarized below:

Contract assets and liabilities as of September 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022 were impacted primarily by the timing of contractual billing milestones. Revenue recognized related to contract liabilities that were outstanding at the end of the respective prior fiscal year were $223 million and $1.12 billion for the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2023, respectively, and $196 million and $967 million for the quarter and three quarters ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
NOTE N: BACKLOG
Backlog, which is the equivalent of our remaining performance obligations, represents the future revenue we expect to recognize as we perform on our current contracts. Backlog comprises both funded backlog (i.e., firm orders for which funding is authorized and appropriated) and unfunded backlog. Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts, such as indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts.
At September 29, 2023, our ending backlog was $31.8 billion. We expect to recognize approximately 55% of the revenue associated with this backlog by the end of 2024 and approximately 80% by the end of 2025, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter. At December 30, 2022, our ending backlog was $22.3 billion
