1. A method of dynamically sharing spectrum between a commercial network and a protected system network, comprising:
receiving, by a processor a spectrum management firewall (SMF) computing device, information from the commercial network;
receiving, by the processor, characteristic information identifying one or more characteristics of a resource or entity in the protected system network;
determining, by the processor, a class of system (COS) and an area of operation (AOO) for the resource or entity based on the characteristic information received from the protected system network;
determining, by the processor, potential interference based on the information received from the commercial network and the characteristic information received from the protected system network;
determining, by the processor, which frequencies may be suppressed on which cells in the commercial network based on the determined potential interference;
generating, by the processor, a suppression message that identifies the determined frequencies per cell; and
sending, by the processor, the generated suppression message to a component in the commercial network to cause that component to suppress the identified frequencies in the identified cells.
