800 million over 5 years is 160 million a year. The DARPA budget is about 200 times that amount and is of the same order as the UKRI budget. For 1/2% of the budget to revolutionise UK research is rather a tall order. "Get ARPA done", seems to have the same content as "Get Brexit done". However funding is funding and we will all be looking for ways to access it.
