The Next Generation Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope(BLAST-TNG) is a submillimeter polarimeter designed to map interstellar dustand galactic foregrounds at 250, 350, and 500 microns during a 24-day Antarcticflight. The BLAST-TNG detector arrays are comprised of 918, 469, and 272 MKIDpixels, respectively. The pixels are formed from two orthogonally oriented,crossed, linear-polarization sensitive MKID antennae. The arrays are cooled tosub 300mK temperatures and stabilized via a closed cycle $^3$He sorption fridgein combination with a $^4$He vacuum pot. The detectors are read out through acombination of the second-generation Reconfigurable Open Architecture ComputingHardware (ROACH2) and custom RF electronics designed for BLAST-TNG. Thefirmware and software designed to readout and characterize these detectors wasbuilt from scratch by the BLAST team around these detectors, and has beenadapted for use by other MKID instruments such as TolTEC and OLIMPO. We presentan overview of these systems as well as in-depth methodology of theground-based characterization and the measured in-flight performance.
