The Swift/BAT hard X-ray transient monitor has recorded a recent flux increase from the transient X-ray pulsar and likely Be binary system XTE J1543-568. In the 15-50 keV band, the source was first detected in an 8-day integration covering 2012 March 9-16 (MJD 55995-56002) with a rate of 0.0016 ± 0.0003 ct/s/cm2. The peak day in the light curve was 2012 March 22 when the rate was 0.0043 ± 0.001 ct/s/cm2 (~20 mCrab).
