Operation Atlas was a terrorist-attack drill/mockup that took place on 4 June 2008, at the Logan airport in Boston, Massachusetts. The massive operation involved real airplanes and assault teams, as in an authentic case. In the plot, a band of "terrorists", "hell-bent on death and destruction," successfully smuggled weapons and explosives onto a commercial airliner, a United Airlines Boeing 757 and threatened to use the aircraft as a missile.

These included Massport officials, Federal Air Marshals Service (FAMS), the Department of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard Boston Homeland Security, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), United Airlines, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Red Cross, and others.
