The Defence Ministry confirmed that the failure was due to a computer glitch that occurred during the drill.
“The ministry will improve on the screening of hardcore facilities … to ensure the quality of the missiles,” the ministry added.
The Hsiung Feng III missile has been designed to cruise at a maximum speed of Mach 2.0 with a range of up to 130km.
The missiles are estimated to cost Taiwanese taxpayers at least $3.45m each.
Taiwan conducted two failed missile tests earlier this year.
