Honeycomb (HC) composites were fabricated by impregnating an aramid paper HC core with carbon nanotubes/carbon black/reduced graphene oxide (CNTs/CB/RGO) and polyurethane resin (PU). The sandwich HC (SHC) absorber containing HC composites with superior microwave-absorption properties were fabricated using the vacuum bagging method. Through the absorption performance of the SHC absorber, it can be concluded that the triple-layer SHC absorber has the best absorbing performance. The effective bandwidth (reflection loss < 10 dB) can be achieved in the entire frequency range of 2.2–18 GHz, and the minimum RL value is −35 dB. Furthermore, the compressive stress of the triple-layer SHC absorber reached 3.71 MPa, which is similar to the compressive stress of aluminum HC panels for aviation. Benefiting from the excellent integration of absorption and mechanical performance, the SHC has significant potential in the stealth-technology field.
