Yes, after the launch of sputnik by the Russians the Department of Defence tasked the Defence Advanced Research Project Agency(DARPA) to create a means of communication in the post nuclear fallout scenario where the government could still be organized after a massive nuclear assault on the United States homeland.

DARPA or ARPA conceived and created the ARPANET in the 60's and in conjunction with various universities deployed the ARPANET in 1969.
