Acquisitions, Intangible Assets And Goodwill

ACQUISITIONS, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

We did not acquire any businesses in 2013 or the first nine months of 2014.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit for the nine months ended

September 28, 2014, were as follows:



	Aerospace			Combat Systems			Marine Systems		Information Systems and Technology			Total Goodwill
December 31, 2013 (a)	$	2,741		$	2,849		$	289	$	6,053		$	11,932
Other (b)	(104		)	(59		)	—		(13		)	(176		)
September 28, 2014	$	2,637		$	2,790		$	289	$	6,040		$	11,756

(a)Goodwill on December 31, 2013, in the Information Systems and Technology reporting unit is net of $1,994 of accumulated impairment losses.

(b)Consists primarily of adjustments for foreign currency translation.

Intangible assets consisted of the following:



	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
	December 31, 2013							September 28, 2014
Contract and program intangible assets*	$	1,790	$	(1,189	)	$	601	$	1,626	$	(1,102	)	$	524
Trade names and trademarks	507		(103		)	404		487		(118		)	369
Technology and software	130		(92		)	38		129		(94		)	35
Other intangible assets	155		(154		)	1		155		(154		)	1
Total intangible assets	$	2,582	$	(1,538	)	$	1,044	$	2,397	$	(1,468	)	$	929

* Consists of acquired backlog and probable follow-on work and related customer relationships.

The decrease in the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of contract and program intangible assets from December 31, 2013, to September 28, 2014, is primarily due to the write-off of fully amortized assets in the Information Systems and Technology group. Amortization expense was $33 and $112 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013, and $30 and $91 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2014, respectively.
