manned
With people operating
Manned describes something operated or crewed by people rather than machines: a manned spacecraft, a manned mission to Mars, a manned checkpoint.
The word has drawn criticism for gendered language, prompting alternatives like crewed or staffed, though manned remains common in aerospace and military contexts.
The station is manned around the clock.
