Narrative:

The military provides ppr's (prior permission) to manned aircraft arriving and departing ZZZ during scheduled activity. Aircraft X; arriving at ZZZ was on short final when aircraft Y launched off ZZZ and turned head on into aircraft X. There is no tower at ZZZ and the advisory service is just that; an advisory service. All departures were supposed to have been on hold for release but the operator disregarded and departed anyway. Although this occurred in restricted airspace; the procedures are flawed and invite incident after incident. Corrective action would be to stand up a tower at the field or de-conflict by scheduling manned and unmanned activity.
