Many companies use the Structural Model: Boeing, Hughes, Lockheed, Link^H^H^H^HHughes, Loral, etc. It is a very interesting framework that exhibits tremendous reuse potential. Lord knows it makes integration a snap compared to the "old ways". It is without a doubt that the Structural Model (first documented by the Air Force's ASC/YW) has saved millions of dollars across several projects. IMHO, it is the first example of a successfully applied "pattern" that seems to be such a hot topic in the OO community (the Structural Model goes back to around 1982). -- Frustrated with C, C++, Pascal, Fortran? Ada95 _might_ be for you!
