Provided is a method and a computer device for performing the method for defending a perimeter against a small unmanned aerial system (sUAS). The method includes detecting a presence of a wireless access point (WAP) associated with a sUAS; analyzing data packets intercepted from the WAP; determining the type of sUAS based on the data packets that were intercepted using a machine learning classifier; determining one or more exploits from a library of exploits to initiate against the sUAS based on the type of sUAS determined by the machine learning classifier; and transmitting the one or more exploits to the sUAS.
