A system (10) and method is provided for increasing interaction between s eed particles (200) in a seed cloud (210) and target particles to be neutral ized, detected or knocked down to the ground. This is achieved by applying a charge to the seed particles so that the seed cloud formed by release of th e seed particles at altitude is highly charged, which in turn produces a str ong electric field between the seed cloud and ground. The relatively strong electric field causes the seed particles to move downward (toward the ground ) at a velocity sufficient to increase interaction (collisions) between the seed particles and the target particles.
