Remote-controlled, lacking crew (8)

I believe the answer is:

unmanned

(Other definitions for unmanned that I've seen before include "Needing no crew" , "Not requiring a crew or staff" , "Lacking a crew" , "Without staff or personnel - made weak" , "Like a drone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
