1.
manned; staffed; with people aboard or on duty
Having people on board or attending, as opposed to 無人; used of spacecraft, vehicles, stations and facilities.
Almost always before another noun or with の, and almost always in contrast with 無人 "unmanned, unstaffed." Not to be confused with 友人 "friend," which has the same reading.
