  The majority of pulsar population synthesis studies performed to date have
focused on isolated pulsar evolution. Those that have incorporated pulsar
evolution within binary systems have tended to either treat binary evolution
poorly of evolve the pulsar population in an ad-hoc manner. Here we present the
first model of the Galactic field pulsar population that includes a
comprehensive treatment of both binary and pulsar evolution. Synthetic
observational surveys mimicking a variety of radio telescopes are then
performed on this population. As such, a complete and direct comparison of
model data with observations of the pulsar population within the Galactic disk
is now possible. The tool used for completing this work is a code comprised of
three components: stellar/binary evolution, Galactic kinematics and survey
selection effects. Here we give a brief overview of the method and assumptions
involved with each component. Some preliminary results are also presented as
well as plans for future applications of the code.
